Experience Design Xdmfa

Learners in ART 652: Experience Design Project are visited this week by our visiting design critic Andrea Cardinal. We are excited about the invaluable feedback Andrea will provide our students!

Andrea Cardinal is an experience designer and social practice artist originally from Flint, MI. She aims to reveal unrealized potential by mobilizing people and their resources to create justice in our communities. Her artwork is the design and management of immersive engagements, where new skills are discovered, camaraderie is built, and joyful labor is abundant. Her work focuses on building beloved-community through disability justice, working-class ethics, and interrogating vulnerability and violence.

She holds an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2D Design, BA in the History of Art, and a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Michigan. Cardinal is Assistant Professor of Design at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH, and Co-Director of Talking Dolls Studio in Detroit, MI.
