Independent creative director & digital strategist in Basel, Switzerland.

I help small businesses and creative organisations turn ambitious ideas and tangled digital problems into clear brands, useful websites and systems that actually work.

From first direction to launch—and the part after launch, when real life begins.

nina britschgi
Swiss-American creative director and digital strategist with a background in fashion, a business owner’s pragmatism and a high tolerance for tech emergencies.
I work where business questions, creative ideas and technology meet.
yeah ok, but like, what do you do?
I help small businesses and creative organizations work out how their brand, website and digital tools should fit together.Sometimes that means creating a visual identity from scratch.
Sometimes it means redesigning a website, moving a shop to Shopify, untangling a booking system or figuring out why customers keep getting stuck in the same place.
I help decide what the right solution is, design and build it, coordinate anyone else involved, and stay around to make sure it keeps working.
so, are you a strategist, designer or developer?
The slightly unhelpful answer is: a bit of all three.
The useful answer is that I work between those disciplines. I can think through the business problem, establish the creative direction, design the experience in Figma and build it in Webflow or Shopify.
For larger or more specialized projects, I work with other designers and developers—and make sure everyone is working toward the same idea.
what's your background?
I studied fashion design, worked as a pattern developer and sample maker in New York, then moved into corporate marketing, where I gradually became the person everyone came to when something technical needed figuring out.
After moving back to Switzerland during the pandemic, I co-founded and ran a bakery-café in Basel for two years. It didn’t make it, but I did – with what I jokingly call my unofficial master’s in business and a very thorough understanding of what not to do.
All of this is a roundabout way of saying: I understand deadlines, budgets, supply chains, branding, and what it feels like when the thing you built isn’t doing the thing. It’s also why I’m straightforward with clients about what is realistic, what a project needs, and what will produce the best result.
so can you build me a website?
Absolutely.
I design in Figma and build in Webflow, which gives us a lot of creative flexibility. For ecommerce, I work with Shopify.
If your needs are simpler, platforms like Squarespace work well too—I’ll help you choose the right tool and set it up so you can manage it yourself. Or I can manage it for you.
Either way, I don’t disappear after launch.
Have an idea, a website problem or a slightly intimidating digital mess?
Tell me what you’re working on. I’ll help you work out what should happen next.

how we work together

FIND THE DIRECTION
Creative direction · Brand strategy · Discovery · Project planning

We clarify what you’re trying to achieve, who it needs to work for and what matters most—then decide what the right solution actually is.

DESIGN & BUILD IT
Branding · UX/UI design · Figma · Webflow · Shopify · Ecommerce · Integrations

I turn the direction into a brand, website, online shop or digital system, bringing in other specialists when the project needs them.

LAUNCH & KEEP IMPROVING
Project management · QA · Training · Analytics · Email marketing · Ongoing support

We test and launch everything, make sure you know how it works, and continue improving it as your business changes.
Figma, Webflow and Shopify are my main tools. Everything else depends on what the project actually needs.
