Brad Siedlecki

Founder and President of Pillar Design Studios, Brad Siedlecki brings with him 20+ years of skateboarding experience, a degree in Landscape Architecture from Arizona State University, an extensive background in Architectural Engineering, as well as the management experience needed to create successful public skatepark facilities.

Siedlecki has been involved in the designing and planning of over 200 public and private skatepark and BMX facilities throughout the United States, Philippines, the Cayman Islands, and the United Kingdom.

Brad has extensive experience working with both municipal staff and local community members. Due to his knowledge of the industry and his experience as a Skatepark designer, Siedlecki is able to convey the needs and wants of not only the municipality but also the end users. Brad has developed many unique programs to aid the Skatepark Design Workshop format and create an open forum. This allows each and every design to reflect that particular community and their needs and wants. We have found this to be highly successful as the community feels a sense of ownership with the finished product.

As a result of his past experience, Brad Siedlecki has been tapped as an expert on skatepark and ramp design by park and recreation media.
