My name is Blanca Sánchez Encinas, and I recently graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a Master’s degree in Costume Design.
I am passionate about cinema and theatre, with a particular interest in the role of costume design in shaping narratives and enhancing character development. My expertise includes design, styling, character conceptualisation, art and fashion history, and set design. I also bring valuable experience in sales, communication, and customer service.
My recent work includes costume design for two productions featured in Gradfest 2026 at The Lir Academy in Ireland: “Marble” by Marina Carr and “The Moors” by Jen Silverman. Alongside this, I assisted designer Toni Bailey on the production of Hurricane Diane. Most recently, I worked closely with Catherine Fay as Assistant Costume Designer on the Irish production of the opera Mansfield Park, which premiered at Dublin’s Pavilion Theatre in September 2026.
Following my time in Ireland, I decided to return to Spain to continue developing my career in stage and film costume. I am eager to deepen my training and gain hands-on experience in a variety of roles, allowing me to better understand the industry from within and contribute to the storytelling process.
