New Orleans based designer, Bradley Bowers refuses to fear the future. Instead, he stays optimistic about what lies ahead and believes that an idea worth having should be ahead of its time. Always reaching for a science journal over a design magazine, Bradley strives to push his own envelope by considering creations that wouldn’t be possible 100 years ago. While many artists reject the assistance of technology, Bradley embraces the possibilities that come with it – bringing designs to life in his studio of innovative software and 3D printers. In Bradley’s world, if everyone likes his idea, he just hasn’t pushed it far enough. When Bradley arrived at Savannah College of Art and Design to pursue his education, he had no idea how many disciplines there were available to explore. With an open mind, he decided to try everything. Since then, he has never been interested in boxing himself into a particular medium or style. Instead, Bradley lets his ideas guide him to whatever form they require and lets his audience find him. From jewelry and ceramics to furniture and lighting – Bradley simply believes in creating what he feels needs to be created.

Persistence. Awards and accolades are exciting but honestly, I’m most proud of my persistence. Day in and day out, I’m always going to show up and do the work. Very little is going to stop me or hold me back. I don’t look for permission.
I was first drawn to Gantri because of the mission to use 3D printing to bring ideas to life. To use a technology that isn’t very widespread to create design was so exciting. I’m interested in anything pushing that pushes the envelope to that extent.
