I’m Nicola Neri, a Creative Director focused on cinematic visuals, generative AI, and multidisciplinary design. Since 2020, I’ve been shaping high-impact graphics for large-scale international projects—especially pavilions, exhibitions, and interactive installations—combining traditional art direction with GenAI workflows and professional post-production. Beyond my studio work at Simmetrico, I also build original IP through my Hyper Dxnut art-toy brand, where I design collectible aesthetics and produce AI-driven visuals for campaigns. I continuously evolve my toolkit—from Stable Diffusion/Midjourney workflows and prompt engineering to 3D printing, 3D design, and Adobe production—so every new release feels like a world expanding over time.…I’m Nicola Neri, a Creative Director focused on cinematic visuals, generative AI, and multidisciplinary design.
