KEV SAVARD

Lighting designer, creative director, stage visualist, GrandMA2 & 3 formator and creative design & thinking speaker from Québec.

Work lives at the crossroads of light, space, and emotion. Whether directing live visuals or designing a full-stage experience, the goal is always the same: create moments that feel alive. A background shaped by live touring, immersive installations, and integrated tech workflows allows light, video, and motion to speak a unified visual language.

It’s been 16 years since I first touched a lighting console, and I’ve never looked back. What started as curiosity quickly became obsession. I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.

Design flows like operation — intuitive, responsive, guided by rhythm, silence, and the pulse of a show. Each cue, each movement, each blackout is crafted to be felt as much as seen.

Light is more than a tool.
It’s a way to shape emotion. A way to connect with people in a room.

Artist Statement

Each project is a chance to tell a story without words. Contrast, rhythm, and emotional tension drive the design. Light becomes choreography, in sync with sound, movement, and space.

Atmospheres are built to breathe.
A haze-filled beam chase. A quiet backlight on a piano. A rig exploding with the drop.
These aren’t just looks — they’re moments, designed not for flash but for feeling.

The best lighting doesn’t always announce itself.
It lingers — in the mood, the silence, and the memory left behind

Creativity in entertainment

I have the pleasure of presenting conferences exploring creativity in entertainment design, focusing on how ideas take shape from inspiration to execution. Sharing my process and experience in lighting, video, and stage design was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the challenges and beauty of creative work. I’m proud to contribute to this conversation with peers and emerging creators.
