Sibylle Schempf lived in several countries, culturally distinctly different from one another. As a result, rather than assimilate, Sibylle takes on the role of observer-collector and translator making her an effective analyst and international advisor. In her own collections, she draws on a personal design language based on memories from each HOME. Roots are replaced by a metaphorical backpack: portable, eclectic and idiosyncratic, which find their expression in continuous experimentation and learning.

In 1997 SSD Consulting was launched. Building on expertise gathered during more than a decade in leading positions along the value chain of the Fine Jewelry industry the company provides creative services for luxury goods companies competing in the increasingly brand-conscious fine jewelry, gem and watch industry. Services were expanded in 2001 to include strategic marketing and branding advisory consulting. Since then management assignments have been performed for luxury goods clients in Asia, Europe and the US.
