Sabine Schiavone

Sabine Schiavone is a Melbourne/Naarm-based designer whose work spans a variety of practices and mediums, including spatial design, visual identity, exhibition design, documentation, installation, video, collage, sound, image-making, objects, and branded environments.

Driven by a curiosity for the mind-body connection, contrast, texture, and our relationship with the land and non-human life, Sabine’s work explores alternative perspectives on the world. She is deeply interested in the interconnectedness of all beings—illustrating how everything continuously interacts and leaves traces through these exchanges.


She holds a Bachelor of Design and a Bachelor of Media and Communications, specialising in Branded Environments and Advertising. Her creative process is informed by a wide range of additional studies, including Project Management, Upholstery, Reiki, Sound Healing, Australian Bush Flower Essences, Italian, Piano, Spatial Design, Hypnotherapy, and Furniture Making. This diverse background shapes her multifaceted approach to design.

Inspired by the belief that both humans and designers evolve through growth and self-compassion, Sabine embraces uncertainty and experimentation as essential parts of learning and making.

Please feel free to get in touch to explore potential collaborations.







I respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the Land , the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People of the Kulin Nation, on whose Land I live, and work, paying respect to their spirits, ancestors and elders past and present.
