About me
Nature lover – introvert – woman from the Waldviertel
Hello. My name is Sabine and I love art. Ever since my childhood, I have been crazy about drawing. Growing up, however, my life took a different turn, and I found my self working in the corporate sector. As life moved on, I realized I was missing something. I felt a change was needed.
So, a few years ago, I decided to take the courageous step and returned to the artistic path. In doing so, I allowed myself space to follow my creative spirit and went back to school. Art, Design and Multimedia became my new focus.
As a young girl, I grew up in the Waldviertel; a rural region in the Austrian highlands. Bordering Bohemia and full of forests, its nature and vast landscapes shaped my thinking, my values and my personality.
Today, I carry a degree in health management in tourism in my backpack. I gained valuable experience living in Ireland and Nepal. My work in the field of human rights and NGOs has shaped me. My training as a certified herbalist has brought me closer to the creative power of nature and thus to creative thinking. In my day to day, I deal intensively with the topic of sustainability. As a result, I’m always looking for ways to incorporate this philosophy into my work.
Today I love what I do, and taking that new path, has made all the difference.

Sabine and the bee
The bee forms most of my name phonetically, and I am honoured to be associated with such an enchanting creature. The zeal, diligence and collective effort of bees are traits that I greatly admire. For this reason, the bee serves as my emblem, symbolizing these positive traits. She is the guardian of my name and an inspiration for my work.
Sustainability
Sustainability – let’s be honest
Sustainability is now a buzzword that is often used and has developed into an important factor in the corporate world. However, the implementation of sustainability represents a challenge. Because it is important to find a balance between ecological and social responsibility and the economic performance of a company. Empty promises and greenwashing are often the result. I can’t claim that I work and live 100% sustainably, that wouldn’t be honest.
But I try to live a sustainable lifestyle as much as possible in my work, my company and privately. Sustainability can be integrated into the design, and I am always educating myself about it. In my company, I take the following steps for more sustainable responsibility:
Timeless Design
I like trends because they’re fun. However, for long-term projects, especially print projects, I design graphics that are as timeless as possible so that they don’t look outdated after a short time. Promotional materials should last a long time and not have to be disposed of soon.
Conserving resources
I prefer printers that offer environmentally friendly printing methods, focus on sustainably, and print with water-based inks. I use as little paper as possible and prefer to use digital media such as e-mails, PDFs or online presentations to convey information.
Inclusive
User-friendly and accessible designs are beneficial for all people. It is important to me to implement as much as possible and to point this out to my clients.
Partnerships
I prefer working with suppliers and partners that focus on sustainability, such as web hosting and printing companies, or local businesses that share my values.
Journeys
I prefer online meetings or phone calls for client meetings and briefings. However, if we are close to each other, we can meet up for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake to support local gastronomy. If possible, I travel by train or public transport and avoid flights.
Office Equipment
I use recycled paper and ecological cleaning products in the office. I print as little as possible and turn off my electronics completely at the end of the day. I also like to buy refurbished devices to make my electronic equipment more sustainable.
