François Roupinian is a globally recognized lighting designer and the founder of Lightemotion. Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, François discovered his passion for illumination during his youth. His early creative experiments included building custom concrete and metal lamps in his bedroom. Listeners can head over to Instagram this week to view exclusive story photos of these teenage creations.
He refined his craft working in the Montreal club scene and providing lighting for electronic music acts like Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers at venues such as Metropolis. Seeking to deepen his expertise, François studied at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and completed a production program at the National Theatre School of Canada before graduating in 1999. Following a major architectural project with racing champion Jacques Villeneuve, he established Lightemotion, officially incorporating the firm in 2002.
Today, Lightemotion operates internationally with a dedicated team across Montreal, Toronto, and Paris. Under his leadership, the practice has designed illuminating experiences for prestigious clients including Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fairmont, Sofitel, the National Arts Centre, and the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore. His team is also deeply involved in illuminating the parliamentary precinct in Ottawa. A believer in heart driven business, François places immense value on human connection. Outside of work, he practices daily transcendental meditation and studies classical guitar.
