Welcome to Bradford Shellhammer Creative Workshop. I tackle many expressive fields: Writing. Decorating. Art sourcing. Illustration. Blogging. Consulting. Marketing. Art direction. Photography. Styling. I can take on any creative endeavor imaginable.

I live in New York City, hail from Baltimore, and count the quirky sensibilities of each as influences. I hold degrees from Goucher College and from Parsons The New School for Design.

I am Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Fab, Inc., working alongside serial entrepreneur Jason Goldberg and noted graphic designer Veerle Pieters.

I write for Sundance Channel and Full Frontal Fashion alongside Robert Redford, Michael Musto, Elvis Costello, Paula Froelich, Lynn Yaeger, and Patrick McMullan. At Full Frontal Fashion I lense Who_What_Where?, a photo series documenting street style, interview notable designers and celebrities, and write essays on design and the arts. I am a contributor to Dwell and I have kept a personal blog since 2000 (yes, that long). I was the founding editor of Queerty, where I won a Bloggie award. I developed and was the dominant voice of Design Within Reach's Design Notes blog. I also penned the Design Notes newsletter, following in the footsteps of DWR founder Rob Forbes, iconic mid-century designer Jens Risom, and the button-pushing illustrator James Victore.

I launched two retail concepts: one for Design Within Reach and another for Blu Dot.

As a decorator with a keen sense of color I've designed apartments of all sizes. I excel in piecing rooms together, telling stories through collections, and sourcing furniture and art. My own homes have been featured in The New York Times and Dwell.

I developed collaborations between Parsons students and American furniture manufacturers Heller and Emeco, resulting in exhibitions showcasing the student designs. I conceptualized the project and critiqued the work in the Parsons classroom. I have also begun curating a series of charitiable art auctions with my friend David Mason Chlopecki featuring art from such iconic names as Helmut Lang, Joey Arias, and Francois Sagat.

I have a wicked fascination with others and have interviewed everyone from figure skater Johnny Weir to pop icon Cyndi Lauper to Warhol Superstar Holly Woodlawn. I continue to document these interviews here in the workshop and in various other websites and magazines.

I've been featured in/on or written for The Abercrombie & Fitch Quarterly, The Advocate, Apartment Therapy, The Baltimore Sun, The Bay Area Reporter Cool Hunting, Dwell, Fleshbot, Frontiers, Full Frontal Fashion, Gawker, Genre, Huffington Post, HX, Interior Design, JC Report, Logo TV, New York Magazine, The New York Observer, The New York Times, Newsweek, Next Magazine, Out Magazine, Paper Magazine, ReadyMade Magazine, Sundance Channel, Towleroad and The Wall Street Journal.

Here at Bradford Shellhammer Creative Workshop I make good things. I can help you create good things too. Please shoot me an email with “yo Bradford” in the title. I’ll get right back to you.
