I'm a 37 year old Designer, Drone Pilot, Videographer & Producer
My name is Sean Malvey, and I have been working in multimedia design for over 15 years. Since moving to Philadelphia in 2007, I’ve been inspired by the city’s historic architecture, creative energy, and the driven people who call it home. Attending the Art Institute of Philadelphia connected me with other creatives, sharpened my skills, and set the foundation for the career I’ve built.
With a bachelor’s degree in 3D animation and additional education in web design, I began my career at University City Housing, where I handled everything from web design and branding to photography, videography, and social media marketing. As the sole designer for several years, I learned how to take projects from concept to launch independently and under pressure.
Entrepreneurship has always fueled me. I founded Axeadelphia during the rise of axe throwing in Philadelphia and helped grow the brand through consistent video content and strategic marketing. My brother and I also produced an award winning documentary about the sport’s growth. That project pushed my storytelling and production skills to another level.
I later joined Brandywine Realty Trust, where I earned my commercial drone license and expanded into high level real estate and corporate video production. I became confident flying cinematic and FPV drones through complex environments, even live events.
Most recently, I have been serving as the Senior Multimedia Production Manager at the American Association for Cancer Research. I lead the organization’s video production efforts, producing promotional campaigns, live event coverage, executive presentations, and brand storytelling pieces that support their mission to prevent and cure cancer. In just over a year, I have completed dozens of major and short form projects while helping streamline production processes and elevate overall visual quality.
Alongside my professional work, I continue to grow OKB Events. We now produce four annual community events that have become staples in the neighborhoods we serve, and we are constantly expanding with new ideas, partnerships, and creative experiences.
I love building things that matter, telling stories that connect, and pushing creative boundaries every chance I get.
