About

Hailing from the serene landscapes of rural southern Washington, Bradly embarked on a journey that seamlessly intertwined art and architecture. A homeschooling experience amidst the woods with siblings shaped an introspective foundation, eventually leading to a dual major in fine art and architecture during undergraduate studies. This academic foundation culminated in a Masters of Architecture from Washington State University in 2011.

 

With a diverse professional trajectory spanning 15 years, Bradly's career began humbly, working as a construction laborer for custom homes. Evolving into roles within facilities and operations for housing development, there architectural prowess soon came to the fore. Today, Bradly stands as an emblem of excellence in progressive design build. To-date he has contributed to successful projects that have earned six DBIA national awards and counting.

 

Yet, beyond the drafting table and blueprints lies an artist. Bradly’s art practice has graced regional exhibitions and major art fairs from Miami to New York. His artwork is deeply rooted in a process-oriented ethos, fuses mediums like watercolor and acrylic paintings with found objects, installations, custom scents, and melodies, crafting narratives that resonate on multiple sensory levels.

 

At the heart of Bradly's philosophy lies an unwavering commitment to process and authenticity. Whether in art or architecture, each project is an expedition, where collaboration, effort, and material honesty culminate in a narrative that transcends mere structure or canvas. This philosophy resonates in Bradly's ongoing exploration, the Bob Hull Research Grant "After Urbanism," delving into the intricate tapestry of rural American communities and their evolving relationship with architecture.

 

Beyond practice, Bradly is a respected voice in the architectural community. From panel discussions with DBIA to guest lectures and capstone instruction at Washington State University, their insights have shaped budding architects and industry professionals alike. Their contributions are immortalized in publications like "Seeing and Making in Architecture" by Taiji Miyasaka.

 

When not immersed in the worlds of art and architecture, Bradly finds solace in nature's embrace. A self-proclaimed introvert, the allure of a forest campfire serves as a retreat, a reminder of simpler times and the boundless inspiration found therein.
