Bradfield was born in Canterbury, Kent in England. He attended Kent College and then the London School of Economics.[3]
After graduating from LSE, Bradfield worked for Gucci Group and Stella McCartney before moving onto a career in advertising in London.[5] In 2005, he began working for the agency J.

In 2010, Bradfield left JWT and established his own design studio,[3] Present Plus, with Dutch entrepreneur Nalden.[6] There they created the wallpaper app Kuvva.[7]
In 2016, Bradfield relocated from Amsterdam to California to set up WeTransfer's U.S. headquarters in Venice, Los Angeles, closer to the company's core client base.[3] He has been instrumental in shaping the company's policy in support of the creative and arts community.[8][9] In July 2017, Bradfield, in his capacity as WeTransfer president, offered a $10,000 "gift" "to start something" to any of the 173 employees laid off at SoundCloud.[10][11]
Bradfield is chairman of the University of the Underground and The Supporting Act,[12][13] and a trustee of the Sarabande Foundation.[5] He is a member of the Champions of Change Global Tech group and a director of Tour De Moon Ltd., a free touring public festival happening in the UK in 2022.[14][15] He is the host of the podcast Influence.[5][16] He is the author of the 2019 Penguin book, The Trust Manifesto: What You Need to Do to Create a Better Internet,[17] and the co-author of the 2021 book Los años de internet (The Internet Years).[18]
Bradfield is married with two children and currently resides in Santa Monica, California.[3]
