ABOUT SABINA VAVRA
Sabina Vavra is an award-winning design visionary and creative force in spatial design and human experience strategy. With over two decades of leadership across luxury interiors, branded environments, and experiential design, she has built a reputation for transforming how people feel, connect, and thrive within spaces.
As the founder of Sabina Vavra Design , she has partnered with prestigious brands including The Ritz Carlton, Joel Robuchon, and Zappos, where she also served as Creative Director of Interiors & Brand Marketing. Her NCIDQ-certified expertise has been showcased in national publications including Sunset Magazine and Coastal Living, with The New York Times remarking that "her style is unexpected" and 944 Magazine naming her "a woman of power."
Her approach goes beyond interiors. Sabina brings a deep understanding of how environments impact our behaviors, moods, and sense of belonging. She thrives at the front end of projects—where big ideas are formed, stories take shape, and transformation begins. Her creative vision has made her a sought-after television personality, serving as Art Director for HGTV's Property Brothers, co-hosting A&E TV's "Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design," and appearing on A&E's "Fix This Kitchen." As the past creative director behind Z Gallerie, her aesthetic has influenced countless spaces nationwide.
Today, Sabina works as a strategic design consultant offering intensive, high-impact sessions for those seeking clarity, creative direction, and depth in their spaces. Her offerings are designed for clients who value meaning over trend, who believe in the power of aesthetics to change how we live, and who are ready to design for transformation.
Whether developing concepts for boutique hotels, reimagining spaces for forward-thinking brands, or helping people reconnect to the soul of their spaces, Sabina creates experiences that unlock the emotional potential in every environment.
“You have design in your blood.”
