Erin Carignan is a costume designer, textile artist, and maker whose work spans regional theatre, opera, and entertainment. Her research centers around her most passionate subjects: textile surface design, costume design, and wearable art. She is most interested in the intersection of these subjects and in expanding her own knowledge of these areas as she continues to learn from and share information with those inside and outside the entertainment arena. As Assistant Professor of costume design and technology at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, her hope is to pass on her passion of these subjects to future generations, while instilling the wealth of information from the artists who make up our shared lineage as designer-artisans.
