Seán O'Mahony
Art Department Assistant
A musician turned Buyer and Assistant Set Decorator, I have spent the last 6 years working in film, TV and commercials. After spending a couple of years as a PA in HETV (Netflix’ ‘Valhalla’, Apple TV’s ‘Foundation’) I found my niche in the Set Dec Department.
I have worked in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland and gained international experience working in Canada in 2024. Notably I have worked on Universal’s ‘Other Mommy’ (TBC), Rose’s War (A 1970’s period film featuring Imogen Poots) and commercials for brands such as ‘Hugo Boss’, ‘Sephora’ and ‘EA Sports’. I am also an experienced Production Assistant and Writers Room PA.
I acquired Project Management skills through the completion of my second Bachelors Degree in Technology & Design.
