SUMMARY
MAD KRO (neé Mohre) is a Michigan-based designer/artist by night and a professor by day. Her process of making is influenced by ideas of play and various relationships between craft, the use of the miniature, sound, sci-fi, humor and installation. Stylistically, she is a Viennese Secessionists and Bauhaus junkie. Most recently, Ms. Kro has created album art for the score from Serial (a podcast by the creators of This American Life), developed marketing materials for Uproot Wines (Manhattan), Fab.com (Manhattan), designed branded items for coin_cube.io (Manhattan), Crossing Brooklyn Ferry at BAM (Brooklyn) and sculpted paper works for Bryce Dessner’s website (of The National). She was featured in an August 2012 edition of the New York Times with Sugar Vendil and the Nouveau Classical Project for their collaboration on “In & Around C,” and she won First Place with Will J. Robinson for “Thig” in Networked & Electronic Media’s Summit Art Contest in Barcelona in 2010.
Mad’s favorite time of the day is after a cup of strong coffee and two eggs over medium.
