MILWAUKEE INSTITUTE OF ART AND DESIGN (MIAD)
Brady VanderHart will soon graduate with a BFA in communication design from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. His love for all things creative has led him down the path of graphic design. There is little that Brady hasn’t dabbled in, from traditional oil portrait painting, to digital sci-fi concept art; and the sensibilities of this multifaceted creative practice are evident in his design work. He has had the incredible opportunity to work for a variety of agencies as a creative intern, and this has prepared him well for his future endeavors.
WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING?
As far as movies are concerned, I was recently enamored with the graphic design within The Creator. Much of my inspiration comes from my other creative love, choral music. Both from listening, as well as singing.
DO YOU CURRENTLY, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?
One cause that I am currently designing for is the mitigation of social anxiety, as it pertains to fitness. My senior thesis is an app concept dedicated to reducing the anxiety that inhibits some from pursuing their fitness goals. This is an issue that has caused resistance for myself, as well as many others in making exercise a habit.
DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND A JOB?
Certainly, my education at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design has provided me with a plethora of opportunities to advance my professional career. Through my higher education, I found a path that I never thought I could follow, and have been able to make connections and secure a range of professional experiences that have expanded my portfolio and prepared me for what lies ahead.
