What Makes Me Different?
Imagine this: Your corporate presentation isn’t just another PowerPoint—it’s an experience—a unique, captivating, and museum-worthy reflection of your brand. Forget templates and cookie-cutter designs. I bring bold artistry, thoughtful storytelling, and a touch of AI magic to make it all come alive.
Here’s what I can do for you:
Custom Art Books
Your brand is art. Have you ever thought about it that way? The kind of art that deserves to be savoured, admired, maybe even touched—carefully, of course. Luxury finishes, typography so beautiful it feels unfair, designs that practically whisper, “Take a moment and see me.” These aren’t just books. They’re treasures. Little collector’s items, waiting to be held.
Engaging Presentations
Ever feel like your presentations are missing... something? Like they’re okay, but not quite you? I get it. That’s where this design comes in. Think rich visuals, sleek layouts, and storytelling that actually pulls people in. It’s like turning your ideas into a visual symphony. Because let’s be honest—why just show up when you can totally stand out?
Who Do I Work With?
So, who are you? The seekers of beauty. The ones who craft elegance like it’s second nature. Innovators. Tastemakers. You don’t settle for “fine”—you’re out there chasing magic.
Museums and Galleries
Every exhibition has a heartbeat. Can you hear it? I do. I listen. Then, I turn up the volume. Catalogues that feel alive. Signage that doesn’t just point the way—it whispers, shouts, sings. Six years. Two museums. Eastern Switzerland. That’s where I learned how a museum breathes, how every detail matters. It’s like living inside an ecosystem. Let’s take your work and connect it to the people who need to see it.
Publishers
Books. Ideas. Entire worlds between two covers. Whether it’s the next big literary phenomenon or an art book that feels like a treasure, I help bring it all to life. At Steidl, I dove headfirst into the whole process. Layout, image editing, printing, finishing—you name it, I tried it. Isn’t it wild how much goes into making a book? Steidl books, by the way, are legendary. Globally renowned, even. They’re like little works of art in paper form.
Hospitality
Hotels. Restaurants. Retreats. You create experiences that linger long after the moment is over. I help transform those into stories. Transforming spaces into memories, a Swiss Grand Hotel, with 111 years of history, is celebrated through stunning photography, timeless typography, and thoughtful design. The result: three books in three languages, honouring its rich legacy and enduring charm.
Unique Brands
Bespoke handbags. Artisan perfumes. Tiny masterpieces, really. Have you ever stopped to think about how a story can feel like that? Perfectly tailored. Every detail just right. I’ve had the chance to learn from Chanel and Fendi, and even Karl Lagerfeld at Steidl Publishing—quite the journey. Now, I craft stories—stories that fit like they were made for you. Isn’t that what makes a brand unforgettable? It’s all in the details. Let’s make them shine.
Automotive
Ah, cars that turn heads and stop hearts. Take the Citroën DS, for example—the one in the Pinakothek der Moderne, white with red leather seats. It’s not just the materials; it’s the entire design. A car like that transforms the streetscape. Imagine if the city were filled with nothing but beautiful cars like the DS...
Boutique Wineries and Distilleries
Wine and high-end spirits are both a science and an art. It’s incredible how soil, sun, and craftsmanship come together to create something so unique. You can taste nature in every sip and feel the love of the craft—it’s what makes them so special. I’m excited to one day collaborate with this art and craftsmanship, telling their stories through captivating visuals and engaging storytelling. Cheers to that!
A Glimpse at My Work
Case Study 1
The Museum Masterpiece
For six years, I found myself weaving designs for the Kunstmuseum and Kunsthalle Appenzell, exhibition catalogues, signage, and little things that somehow captured the soul of the displays. How can you capture the essence of art in print? Designing each project felt like a quiet conversation with the artwork itself—a dance, maybe. The goal? To make visitors see more, to let the art breathe a little louder.
Case Study 2
A Swiss Grand Hotel. Over a century of heritage. Fifth generation and still standing tall. Can you imagine the stories hidden in those walls? 111 years of guests, moments, and timeless charm. I wanted to capture that—bottle it up somehow. So, I did. With photography from Stefan Pielow that made you step right into the kitchen, the ballroom, the history. Timeless typography and an overall design that doesn’t try too hard. The outcome? Three books. Three languages. A small tribute to their legend.
Case Study 3
Working with Steidl—can you imagine? For an art book enthusiast like me, it was nothing short of a dream come true. My role? Designing books for renowned artists like Jim Dine. No pressure, right? What did I learn here? Books that felt timeless but not stuck, modern but not loud. Each one felt like a tiny masterpiece, perfectly tuned to Steidl’s relentless obsession with craft. It was magic. The kind that makes your heart race a little. Maybe a little terrifying, too. But mostly magic.
Another freelance project at Steidls was finalizing Ottobock's "Futuring Human Empowerment." I knew it was going to be something out of the ordinary. Ottobock isn’t just a company—they’re pioneers in prosthetics, innovating at the intersection of human ability and technology. This all comes together in this remarkable book, which serves as a follow-up to the first installment, "Futuring." Like all good projects, it pushed me to think beyond what “design” should be. Honestly, when the final presentation came together, it felt like seeing a small glimpse of tomorrow.
What Do my Clients Say?
"Sabine collaborated with us as graphic designer for several exhibitions and related publications/catalogues we curated over the last five years. Alle of those exhibitions have an architectural or urban design content and context, some related to our professional research and self-initiated, some commissioned by the Berlin Senate for Urban development. Our interest lies in the art of visualising technically complex information or "dry" statistic data in simple diagrams and pictograms. Theory, abstract complexity need more and more the support of visual and graphical keys to enter those layers.
I enjoy very much our congenial collaboration with Sabine who adds elegance and effortless lightness to the subject matter."

— Barbara Hoidn, partner at Hoidn Wang Partner, Berlin
"During my time at the Kunstmuseum / Kunsthalle Appenzell and in cooperation with the Fondazione Arp Locarno, I worked with Sabine for almost 14 years, repeatedly designing and realizing a wide variety of print products, from accidentals to complex books. Our collaboration was perfect because Sabine Hahn thought through both the design details and, more importantly, the contexts, and she brought my occasionally very vague ideas into reality. Apart from that, she is also simply a pleasure to talk to and work with."
— Roland Scotti, curator Kunstmuseum / Kunsthalle Appenzell, Switzerland
"The book designed by Sabine Hahn commissioned by scheidegger and spiess publishing company is great significance to me. The book cover has a unique color matching, the overall design is generous and neat, and the layout of the board is simple but precise. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to introduce some aspects of Taiwanese contemporary art to the world. I hope Everyone should know that Taiwan is a wonderful island of freedom, diversity and innovation."
— Yao jui-chung, artist, Taiwan
"My debut novel was in the best pair of hands with Sabine. She made sure she deeply understood the story and found an outstanding way of expressing the human drama that hides behind a daily headline. Despite being with a small indie publisher, the book became a long seller, and I think Sabine's phantastic cover contributed to that. "
– Ellen Dunne, author, Ireland
About Me
Creating books isn’t just work for me—it’s my passion, my dedication. I focus on the details others might overlook—the feel of textured paper, the exact curve of a serif, the perfect shade that brings a design to life. It’s storytelling as an art, crafted for industries where perfection matters most.
It all started with a wild idea: What if your brand "content" could feel warm and inviting? Using thoughtful design and cutting-edge AI, I create high-quality, bespoke "art books" for all the branches mentioned above. With experience working alongside renowned museums and leading publishers, I know one thing for sure: boring isn’t an option.
