Bradley Blanton

My name is Bradley Blanton and I am a queer, non-binary graphic designer born and raised in Tampa, Florida. As a queer designer, I am interested in queering the field of design and expressing my own queer identity through my work. When designing, I find myself drawing inspiration from many places, the majority having something to do with the formation of my identity. Growing up in a predominantly conservative area, I turned to a wide variety of media and the internet as a sort of escape. Because of this, cinema, music, and the internet have had a lasting impact on not only myself but also on my design practice. As someone who likes to experiment a lot within their practice, I have grown familiar with a wide variety of mediums and styles of design. This practice of experimentation has not only led me to grow more confident in myself, my practice, and my ideas, but I have been able to develop my own voice, one that is inherently queer. I enjoy working primarily on large scale projects, including visual systems and campaigns.
