Episode 8
Friday, 24 April, 2026

Meet Bradley Lockhart. Whatcom County local, creator of the Bellingham Flag and the brains behind many local business' branding and logos. In this episode, Brad talks to us about his journey to digital media, animation and curating an icon of Bellingham iconography with our official city flag. We get into what it's like finding that balance between a client's vision and needs and where you as a creative toe the line with your own ideas. Plus, we get into more talk of flags with Brad's rendition for a Washington State and Seattle flag, his love for pinball machines, being part of a local punk band, and getting to work with an organization like Children of the Setting Sun.
