I'm Sabrina, Your trusted Kitchen Designer NYC
Why Am I Doing This?
Planning a kitchen should feel exciting, not overwhelming. But after years of working with homeowners across NYC, I saw some challenges repeat: missed details, unexpected costs, rushed timelines, and compromises made to fit product limitations.
That’s when I realized clients deserved more: thoughtful guidance, independent expertise, and design shaped around their lives.
Contractors often joke that I’m “extremely meticulous.” I’ll take that. That level of precision, shaped by my German roots and nearly 20 years of international experience, is what ensures every project gets the care it deserves.
This isn’t just a job to me. I want clients to feel so supported and satisfied that they reach out after the project to catch up, not to complain. That’s what makes the work meaningful.
Out of that same intention, I founded Atelier bauherr, a boutique kitchen architecture studio under Kitchen Design NYC. It reflects everything I believe design should be: thoughtful, disciplined, and rooted in the way people truly live.

I share those conversations on Instagram."
My Core Values
Proactivity
Planning isn’t left to chance. it’s built in from the start. I anticipate challenges before they appear, guiding every decision so your project flows smoothly and feels effortless from day one.
Accountability
I stay with you from first sketch to final install, keeping every detail aligned with your vision. You’ll never wonder if things are on track. you’ll feel supported and confident at every step.
Client-Centered
This kitchen is for you, not for me. Every choice is shaped by your lifestyle, your routines, and your goals, so the result feels like home, in the way only your kitchen can.
Simplicity
Great design is balance functional, beautiful, and never overwhelming. Whether sleek and modern or classic and warm, the goal is always clarity and flow that makes daily life easier and more inspiring.
Connection
A kitchen is more than cabinets and countertops. it’s a space for living and gathering. My role is to design the space, but also to be your partner in the journey, so the process feels as meaningful as the outcome.
Professional Background
I bring nearly 20 years of experience designing kitchens across Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the U.S. What sets me apart is not just the span of places or projects, but the way I learned this craft from the ground up.
I began in this field at 16, starting on the practical side. From installation and order processing to after-sales service and project management, I’ve worked through every stage of the kitchen journey. That hands-on foundation shaped how I design today: a kitchen isn’t just a drawing, it’s a living space that only succeeds when supported by solid planning, technical knowledge, and meticulous execution.
Over the years, I worked alongside some of Europe’s most respected kitchen brands, including Bulthaup, Alno, Allmilmö, Ballerina, and Eggersmann. Immersed in environments that demanded precision and timeless quality, I absorbed the rigor behind German engineering and the artistry that elevates functional spaces into architectural statements.
Today, that blend of technical depth and design vision guides every project. Whether a client is drawn to sleek minimalism or prefers warmth and timelessness, my approach is the same: design that reflects how you live, honors your investment, and endures beautifully.
Because I personally oversee complete renovations, coordinating trades, guiding vendors, and managing details on site. I understand kitchens at every level. That’s why clients trust me to carry their projects from the first sketch to the last install, ensuring every detail is clear, considered, and executed with care.
