Hi, I'm Nina Schaffter, a fashion and textile designer based in Ticino, Switzerland. I merge craft with contemporary design, turning concepts into fabrics, prints and garments. I earned a Bachelor of Fashion Design at NABA in Milan and hold a Tailoring Diploma (SAMS, Biasca) plus an Artistic Diploma from CSIA, preparing me to handle both creative and technical aspects of fashion production. My professional journey includes allover and placement print design for Hugo Boss in Ticino and Metzingen, coordination of fashion show textiles, and collaboration with Crochette Milano on children's wear. I’m fluent in Italian and English with working knowledge of French, Spanish and German, and I love collaborating with design teams to craft strong, print-driven collections.
