Tad Bradley

Tad Bradley is a project manager for Pivot North Design. He was raised in the Adirondack Park and the Olympic village of Lake Placid, NY, and has called the Rocky Mountains home for more than 28 years. After earning his Master of Architecture from Montana State University, he has pursued a life shaped by curiosity—exploring materials, craft, teaching, travel, and design with equal dedication. His architectural education continues to ground his approach to research, fabrication, presentation, and dialogue. Bradley's experience spans over a decade of university teaching, work in residential and commercial architecture, public speaking, blacksmithing apprenticeship, and a growing body of public and gallery-based sculptures. His adventures have taken him across Canada, Europe and Asia, both independently and with students. He has introduced makers from age six to 83 the wonder of fused glass. Rooted in hands-on research and material fluency, He designs with a belief in the quiet power of space, light, scale, and texture to shape and awaken the human spirit. He draws inspiration from biomimicry and the humility it asks of us—seeing in nature’s adaptive intelligence a model for living and designing in balance with our environment.
