Design Studio Seven was founded by Nour, a filmmaker and photographer passionate about preserving real moments through honest, artful storytelling. After working with brands worldwide, I spent years immersed in the fast-paced world of art direction and commercial work — where everything moved quickly and nothing truly lingered.
In that pace, I discovered what I loved most: slowing down, observing, and creating with intention. Today, our studio blends cinematic filmmaking and emotive photography to capture stories with depth, beauty, and meaning.
Inspired by a love for film and cinema and their timeless ability to preserve emotion, we craft films and imagery that live beyond the frame — honoring the heart behind every scene.
About design studio seven
Design Studio Seven was born from intention — a reflection of faith, feeling, and the meaning behind the number that inspires its name.
In my faith, the number seven (sab‘a) signifies harmony and completeness. It appears throughout creation — seven skies, seven earths, seven verses in Al-Fatiha — reminders of balance, beauty, and divine order. For me, it symbolizes the way everything unfolds in perfect rhythm, exactly as God has written.
I never wanted the studio to carry only my name, because my work has never been about me. It’s about the stories I’m trusted to tell — the people, emotions, and moments that live far beyond a signature. Seven felt larger, rooted in connection, purpose, and the beauty of timing.
Through our work, we aim to capture that same feeling — the harmony between emotion and light, the balance of modern and nostalgic, fleeting and eternal. Whether we’re documenting love stories or creating visual narratives for brands, our purpose is the same: to tell stories that feel real, soulful, and beautifully aligned.
