Summary
Sean Fitzpatrick is a founder and project lead with 12 years of experience designing and building web experiences, specializing in front-end UI, Drupal development, and print-to-digital production workflows. Based in Grand Rapids, he blends editorial rigor (formerly an associate/online editor) and Adobe-driven print production with hands-on HTML/CSS and LAMP administration to deliver polished, usable products. As founder of Proof Studio since 2014 he guides projects end-to-end—scoping, timeline planning, stakeholder presentations, and launch—while also contributing as a designer and developer for clients like ReadyRosie and Interpersonal Frequency. His background in library and information science informs a user-centered approach to content architecture and accessibility that often shapes project decisions beyond visual design. Comfortable switching hats between copy, layout, and code, he’s particularly adept at translating editorial workflows into sustainable web systems.
