EXPERIENCE
DESIGNER + ARTIST
Annabelle Schneider is an award-winning, Swiss born an New York based, dual experience designer and brand strategist with an accomplished background in branding and spatial installations - physical and virtual - with a strong focus on well-being.
She owns a graduate degree in Strategic Design Management, and a AAS and MFA in Interior Design from Parsons, New York, where she’s currently teaching design studios.
Annabelle Schneider pioneers innovative spatial concepts that bridge the gap between physical and virtual realms. With a rich background in branding, spatial installations and design management, her eponymous studio explores the fusion of technology and multi-sensory, tactile elements to redefine comfort, belonging and well-being in spaces.
Her work includes experiential, thought-provoking questions of how we’re living in exhibitions like BREATHE WITH ME (2024), commissioned by the Swiss Consulate during NYCxDESIGN at WSANY or BEING in Bed (2023), a VR experience presented at Art Basel Miami.
Annabelle’s portfolio boasts transformative experiences like virtual retail spaces
for Kartell Laufen or Coffee n’ Clothes. Collaborations with on experiential Interiors for Vitra, Laufen, Snarkitecture or Eyesightgroup, challenge the traditional notions of space and experience by seamlessly integrating technology from Virtual Reality (VR), to Augmented Reality (AR), projection mappings or sonic stimuli, blended with fabrics and soft shapes of physical objects that engage the sense of touch.
Together with a hospital, she currently develops worlds in Virtual Reality for education, pain release and trauma therapy. Through her conceptual prowess and commitment to inclusive design, Annabelle aims to reshape environments to foster emotional connections and enhance well-being, setting new standards for the future of experiential design and communal spaces reconnecting body, mind and soul.
Finding a sense of calm in a world filled with events that are uncontrollable. Learning to adapt to a rapidly evolving environment. Discovering new ways of remodelling our way of living and being.
