What does it take to design visuals that captivate thousands in the moment? How do you craft experiences that feel personal, immersive and unforgettable—on a massive and sometimes complex scale? Live experiences are where emotion, creativity and technology collide. These moments demand more than just aesthetics—they require storytelling, intention and connection. And when it works, it’s magic. In this talk, Kate pulls back the curtain on the creative thinking and design processes behind awe-inspiring visuals for large-scale events. From early ideas to live delivery, learn how collaboration, experimentation and emotion all play a part in shaping the ultimate goal: an unforgettable audience experience. Join Kate for this behind-the-scenes journey from dark to light.
