For more than 20 years, Es Devlin has sculpted immersive experiences for opera, drama, and performers like Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, and U2. Now the artist and designer shares her process as an artist so you can cultivate creativity in any form. From sketching to collaborating to creating powerful visual stories, learn how to turn the abstract—your ideas and imagination—into art you can see, feel, and share.

Fusing music, language, and light, Es Devlin is an artist and designer whose creations range across spectrums and disciplines. She’s brought experiences to life for opera and theater for more than 20 years and shaped large-scale performative sculptures and environments for musical artists like Beyoncé and The Weeknd. She has also collaborated with theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, created ceremonies for the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, and been awarded the London Design Medal, among many other honors.

With her collaborative and cross-disciplinary approach, Es invites you to explore and expand your own creative potential and takes you into her studio to share her process. Learn how to create powerful visual stories, collaborate with other creatives, and take the abstract—thoughts, concepts, and imagination—and turn it into art to enjoy and share with others.
