Triin Kolmkant

Hi, I’m Triin Kolmkant, a costume professional with a passion for bringing stories to life. Based between Finland and the UK, I’ve gained diverse experience across TV (like ‘D.I. Ray’ and ‘Doctors’), theatre (including Royal Shakespeare Company), ballet (Birmingham Royal Ballet’s ‘Swan Lake’), and even touring with MADONNA! My skills encompass costume design, supervision, breakdown, pattern making, fitting, and fabric manipulation. With a BA (Hons) in Design for Performance and training in costume design and dressmaking, I thrive on collaboration and the creative process of crafting impactful costumes.
