My name is Sean Malvey, and I have been a multimedia designer for over 12 years. Since moving to Philadelphia back in 2007, I have been inspired by the fantastic historical architecture of the city and the creative and inviting people I have encountered. Attending the Art Institute of Philadelphia allowed me to meet other creatives, be inspired by their designs, and form lasting friendships that have been instrumental in my development as an artist.
With a bachelor’s degree in 3D animation and a year of education in web design, I secured a position at University City Housing (UCH), a Philadelphia apartment rental company. During my time at UCH, I honed my web design skills, developed my unique style, and mastered various aspects of marketing, including photography, videography, and social media management. Being the sole member of the design team for the first three years pushed me to become a self-starter, capable of carrying a project from its inception to final implementation.
In parallel with my role at UCH, I founded Axeadelphia, a business centered around the burgeoning sport of axe throwing. This venture taught me effective marketing techniques and ad targeting strategies. Since July 2017, I have produced monthly videos for Axeadelphia, enhancing my editing skills and SEO knowledge through YouTube. My brother and I also produced an award-winning documentary about the rise of axe throwing in Philadelphia in 2016.
Recently, I had the opportunity to work for Brandywine Realty Trust, where I obtained my commercial drone license and learned more about client relations and managing larger teams to produce video and web content. Over the past year, I have been mastering my drone pilot skills and am now confident flying my FPV drone through any space, even events staged with people.
download resume Hire MeI designed my first major website in 2013 and have since developed my own personal style. All photos, videos and graphics on my websites were created by myself.
Working for UCH taught me how to set up marketing events, special giveaways and extra incentives for prospects while the creation of Axeadelphia only helped to expand upon my knowledge of specific audience targeting and online sales.
I absolutely love creating graphics for all forms of media. I am constantly looking at other designer's work and doing design tutorials online to continue to develop my style.
In the past couple years I have gotten very into photography. While it started just being photographs of the apartments managed by UCH it quickly expanded to event photography, employee headshots and product shots.
One of my favorite things to do is produce videos. Every job since college has involved some form of video production. From FPV drone apartment tours with UCH to event promos for Kick Axe Axe Throwing.
Since I created Axeadelphia I have been designing products from sketch to production. I was able to secure a manufacturer in Hong Kong, a process which taught me a lot about speaking with manufacturers and negociating the best price on the products.
