ABOUT

Sabina Vavra is an award-winning designer and creative strategist with more than two decades of experience shaping interiors, branded environments, and human experiences. As founder of SVD, a Certified Design Firm, she has partnered with brands including The Ritz-Carlton, Joël Robuchon, and Zappos, where she served as Creative Director of Interiors & Brand Marketing.

NCIDQ-certified, Sabina’s work has been featured in Sunset Magazine and Coastal Living, with The New York Timesdescribing her style as “unexpected.” Her career has also spanned television and national retail, including Art Director for HGTV’s Property Brothers, co-host of A&E’s Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design, and Creative Director for Z Gallerie.

At the heart of her work is a belief that design can do more than transform how a space looks—it can influence how people feel, behave, connect, and experience their surroundings. Sabina is particularly drawn to the earliest stages of a project, where vision, story, and strategy come together to define what a space can become.

Today, she brings that perspective to residential, multifamily, hospitality, and branded environments, creating spaces that are visually compelling, deeply considered, and designed around the people who experience them.
