Welcome!
This is a legacy webpage (originally from 2005) celebrating my career as a costume designer for theatre, dance, and film, from 1989-2009.
I'm keeping my portfolio online - there are some proud memories there.
I have continued to work as a technical costumer at Vassar College, while also managing the college's collection of historic clothing, but I "retired" from costume design in 2009.
At that time, I began actively pursuing a new passion: work with digital collections of cultural heritage materials, from libraries, archives, and museums.
In 2012 I began my second Masters program, complementing my MFA with an MLIS at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies.
My current work is highlighted at ardenkirkland.com - please visit and find out more!
I do still occasionally sell some of my novelty designs, for old times' sake, on Etsy,
especially around the winter holidays, so look for my shop - ardeninred
Gratefully,
Arden
