ABOUT     

ME        

Helping real estate, travel, hospitality, and lifestyle brands grow with clarity, creativity, and soul.

Let's talk!

Hi, I’m Sabine — Brand & Marketing Strategist & Brand Director.

Bringing clarity, direction and emotion to brands that create experiences.

I help real estate, travel, hospitality, and lifestyle brands craft identities that people remember — and love to share.

With over a decade of experience in brand strategy, marketing and brand direction, I support brands that live at the intersection of culture, community and experience: hotels, housing concepts, beach clubs, bars, restaurants, electronic music brands, and lifestyle concepts.

My background bridges strategy and creativity: I help founders and teams translate their vision into brands that feel alive across every touchpoint — from story and identity to content, campaigns and brand experience.

Based in Lisbon, working with clients across Europe and globally.

What Clients Say

  • Working with Sabine feels like slipping on a glove - everything just fits! We’ve had so much fun and alignment collaborating on projects like the Front Bar and Amore al Dente. Sabine brings real passion to building a brand, but what stands out even more is how deeply she cares about helping it grow and succeed. Working together, I’ve learned so much — especially the importance of always staying connected to a brand’s core values. She’s the best. Truly.

    Geo Jipa - Architect

  • Working with Sabine has been a truly enriching experience for Home & Co. She brought clarity, strategic focus, and creative vision to our brand development process at a critical phase of our growth.

    Enis Bayik - COO Home & Co.

  • Working on the T[rave]l Guides with Sabine was like going on a trip: full of ideas, surprises, and perfectly planned stops. She brought the brilliant concept, I added design and a few caffeine-fueled late nights. The result? A book that makes you want to pack your bags and party hard!

    Chris Jegl - Art & Creative Director

  • Sabine supported us in sharpening our brand positioning and building a strategic framework that reflected both our values and our long-term ambitions in the student housing sector. Her deep understanding of modern branding, combined with a pragmatic and structured approach, helped us elevate Home & Co into a clearly differentiated and emotionally engaging brand.

    Enis Bayik - COO Home & Co.

  • Beyond strategy, Sabine also played a vital role in establishing the foundation for our community building efforts—translating abstract brand values into tangible formats that resonate with our target audience and drive long-term engagement. Her collaboration style is hands-on, reliable, and always focused on creating real value. I would highly recommend working with her to any organization seeking to build a meaningful brand and authentic community.
