Brad McDonald, AIA LEED AP
Principal Architect

After graduating from the University of New Mexico, Brad started his design career in residential and commercial design with local firms. In 1991, he moved to California to join Walt Disney Imagineering, working on projects from the design studio to the field.  His portfolio encompasses theaters, hotels, and office buildings as well as THEA Award-Winning themed attractions, rides, and restaurants. As a result of his collaborative and freelance work, Brad created Reveal Studio in 2003, bringing his design experience and keen insight to the environmental needs of both interior and exterior spaces. Brad’s combined experience and rapport with clients has proven successful in a variety of projects ranging from full scale theme parks, to industrial buildings and office workplace solutions. His award-winning projects include a renovation of the historic Angelus Temple in Echo Park, the Veteran’s Park Club House in Bell, and a collection of unique and thoughtful residences—one of which was featured on the Holmes Show. Both the Sunset House and Redtail House were recently awarded the 2019 AIA/SFV Chapter People’s Choice Award.

Brad currently serves at President of the AIA San Fernando Valley Chapter.
