About Me
Hi, I'm Evelyn Hassett, a Wexford-born Production Designer based in Dublin, Ireland.
I studied Design for Stage and Screen at the Institute of Art, Design & Technology, Dun Laoghaire, where I developed skills in areas such as research, concept drawing, 3D model building and 2D & 3D AutoCAD drafting.
I have a passion for working as part of a team to design spaces and places, and bringing them to life on stage and on screen!
I have gained valuable hands-on experience in many aspects of production design and the wider art department, by working on various projects in areas such as film, TV, theatre, music videos, and advertisements. These include projects for the National Film School, Wexford Festival Opera, RTÉ, Virgin Media, Sky and Disney.
