"Exploring characters and their headspace and expanding that world beyond the script and the wide range of decisions involved in creating new realities is what I love about the craft of production design. I see every opportunity to explore the range of emotion through architectural details, patterns, colours, lighting and furniture. My goal is to collaborate with filmmakers who want to push the boundaries of the imagination."

 

Born and raised in the Philippines and based in Berlin,  Trinka Lat graduated with honours with a BA in Communication Arts degree at the Ateneo de Manila University in 2002. She started the film production company Brainchild Six soon after and went on to study production design at the Mowelfund Film Institute. She continued her design journey by a lot of learning by doing - traversing two spheres - designing  music videos, commercials, short films and features and series for cinema and television since 2003. With over twenty years of industry experience as a production designer, set decorator and member of the art department, she seeks out projects and teams that have the same passion for creative world building. 

​
