She is deeply curious about the mind–body connection, contrast, shape, proximity, texture, and perception, driven by a desire to discover new ways of seeing. This perspective informs projects that bring brands to life, create meaningful spaces, tell distinctive narratives of place, and transform complex ideas into tangible, embodied experiences.
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.

I respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People of the Kulin Nation, on whose land I was born, lived, and worked. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
