Hi there! I’m Sarah, the Owner and Creative Director of Sarah Proper Designs, LLC. I’m a Creative Front End Designer & Developer, located in sunny Denver, CO.

Resume

Since building my first website at age 12, I’ve been in love with designing and building for the web.

My focus is on creating websites and other digital solutions for small businesses & nonprofits. I’m bringing more than just years of code knowledge and web savvy; I’m bringing a passion for accessibility for all and a commitment to clean, reusable code that looks good and functions better.

Outside of design & development, I’m an avid traveler, yogi / runner / triathlete, and bookworm.I enjoy spending hours lost in the mountains with my dog, Piper. In the summer, you can find me at a baseball game and in the winter, a hockey game. At both, I’ll have pizza and beer in hand. Go Nats! Go Caps!
