Nicole Chufi is motion designer and artist, based in Stockholm working within Europe. ︎
Hi, I’m Nicole Chufi (she/her), Brazilian (Italian/Lebanese), motion designer & audio artist, with a background in digital production, events and sound.
I love designing rhytym-based compositions and translating concepts for audiovisual and immersive experiences, film, and campaigns.
Moreover, I carry a research and development practice:
Feelz Lab, where I experiment with art, sound and technology in experiential, evolving and ethereal forms - through innovative mediums and spaces.
From exploring the not-so-dark corners of Artificial Intelligent and Machine Learning, to finding new ways to develop concept and tell stories in any shape of form, building experiences for interesing spaces such as Domes, and I will stop there, as my curiosity is always leading me to experimentation.
This practice has led me, most recently, to take part in AI Hacklab at Sónar Barcelona 2024, Aavistus Festival, Unmute residency at Värmeverket, WIP Arts & Technology Festival, Motion Plus Design Satellite, Creative mornings and host sessions at renowed institutions such as CYENS, Hyper Island & Helsinki City Museum.
Currently, Stockholm-based, and have lived in Berlin, Sydney, Budapest, San Francisco, New York and São Paulo.
Tech: Touch Designer, After Effects, ComfyUI, Cinema 4D, Notch, MapMapper, Resolume, Adobe Premier & Ableton Live.

// my approach
Often times, I design concepts based on feelings, moods and aesthetics.
I love to play with colorful palettes, textures, a fusion of abstract and realistic themes, and telling stories through electronic and athmospheric sounds.
// inspiration
Being an expat for +10 years, my inspiration comes from Humans I’ve met and conversations I had, music I listen to, cultures I’ve experienced, places I’ve seen, and nature I got lost and breathed in.
