I’m Rikki Chandler. I studied film in London, directed award-winning music videos and live broadcasts, then moved to Brazil to teach and to build communities. Today I run ArtiFxn Design, a small AI systems studio in Florianópolis.
In date order. The last three chapters each have a page of their own.
I studied film at the University of Greenwich and ran a production business from there. The Sleeping Beauty, co-directed and shot for the pianist Fabio D’Andrea, won Best Cinematography at the Los Angeles Film Awards.
25+ FESTIVAL AWARDS · CANNES SHORT FILM CORNER · 2M+ YOUTUBE VIEWSWHAT IT GAVE USEvery frame composed, nothing left to chance.
As live broadcast director at Kensington Temple in London I directed and vision-mixed broadcasts of up to 13 hours, led the camera, sound and lighting crews, and trained new operators. For Tempus TV I ran a live setup at a floodlit golf championship in Dubai, and filmed Formula 2 in Baku.
BROADCASTS OF UP TO 13 HOURS · VISION MIXING · CREW LEADWHAT IT GAVE USReal-time systems where nothing can fail.
Helping people is what brought me to Brazil: free camera classes for young people, then Pulso, a youth TV show I produced, designed and directed. I also filmed LC, a documentary on Rio’s underground electronic music scene.
One-to-one lessons online since 2020, mostly for developers, designers and product people. And two communities built from nothing: Nomad on the beach in Florianópolis, and KNG Estate, a game city for UK players.
In 2023 I started the studio that is now ArtiFxn Design: the site and system behind Rocks Investments, Quicklitrack, our own app for skip-hire firms, and the platform that runs Nomad’s games.
Our AI agents do the heavy work. I direct it, and every change is read before it ships.
They came from the film sets, the control room and the classroom.
Every figure we show comes from a live system. If we do not know a number, we say so; we never round one up.
Tell us the one thing that should change. We start from that question and a written test of how we will know it worked.
We stay after launch: monitoring, fixes, documentation and training, until your team runs it.
Whether you are hiring or building, the first step is the same: one conversation with Rikki Chandler.
Rikki connects customers to systems, fixes what breaks and explains it so it sticks.

Every door leads to the same person.
