About Me
Hello! My name is Cas Bradley. I am currently a senior at Stetson University. I am an Honors student double-majoring in Digital Art and Psychology, and I have a minor in Marketing. My main focuses in digital art are photography and graphic design, however, I have also experimented with illustration, animation, web design, and drone photography/videography.
I am currently working as a social media content creator and an administrative assistant for TeamBradley.
For the 2023-2024 academic year, I am the Editor-In-Chief of Stetson's student media organization, Hatter Network.
My favorite place to be when I'm not studying or creating art is out on the water with my teammates on the Stetson's Women's Rowing Team.

Artist Statement
Cas Bradley is a digital artist with a focus on photography and graphic design and has interests varying from illustration to drone videography to color psychology. If you couldn’t tell, she’s indecisive and unsure about a lot of things. Her art, as an extension of herself, is similar and has a wide range of focus.
Her pieces tend to have both soft and strong characteristics as prominent features. Whether a portrait has a pastel color palate and a sharp pose or a brand design has bold type and soft lines and gradients, she loves the juxtaposition and balance that the two characteristics bring out in each other. Her personal projects, regardless of medium, have self-love and simple, slice-of-life themes and often contain eco-friendly methods and/or messages. Her inspiration for color and type often comes from the psychedelic 70s and vaporwave 80s (thanks to the music and album covers she grew up with).
Luckily for her, varied interest means varied styles to work from and experiment with. She’s flexible and able to fit her style to the needs of whatever project she takes on. Creating a clean, sleek brand identity for a political-based podcast (see @2024_podcast on Instagram) and a hand-drawn logo concept for a home-grown hula-hoop business both come easy to Cas. With a background in Psychology alongside digital art, playing with approach/avoidance elements makes brand and logo design a compelling project. She pulls inspiration from typographers and designers such as Mike Perry and Risa Rodil, and brands such as Glossier, Nike, and Patagonia.
Pulling in her varied outside interests makes Cas Bradley’s art visually appealing and fitted within the context of whatever project she takes on. Her indecision leads to a combination of contrasting elements and an exploration of dissimilar mediums that build into a mirror of the artist herself.
