Brad is a designer, letterpress printer, artist and educator based in Louisville, KY. After graduating from Western Kentucky University where he studied graphic design and printmaking, he began working at the legendary Hatch Show Print in Nashville, TN. He went on to start his own shop, Brad Vetter Design, in 2012.

Walking the line between analog and digital, Brad’s posters are created with a combination of antique type/presses and a laser engraver. These days, Brad spends his time teaching workshops, designing wine labels & other fun things, printing letterpress show posters, building community, and making art.
