This one-to-one course will help refine your editing process to better align with your branding, and creative voice. By the time your course is done, you’ll have a color process designed around your artistic vision and your business needs.

With Tom’s guidance, I went from being a consolation choice to being my ideal clients’ first choice. In just one year, I’ve tripled my bookings and earned a place alongside the industry’s best.
Tom transformed my work from feeling like imitations into something unmistakably my own. My voice became louder. He brought out the best in me and made my work come alive.
A planner recently asked me, “What’s your secret? Your work is some of the most consistent I’ve seen in years.”
My answer was simple: I work with Tom. I told her how he helped me create an edit rooted in my own artistic vision. She was so impressed, she immediately asked for his information.
Working with Tom is like working with the legends you’ve always heard about - Rick Rubin, George Martin, Pharrell. And, for me, there’s Tom Wright.
He’ll hate me for saying it, but I’ll say it anyway: Tom Wright is my rockstar producer, and I’m endlessly grateful for the imprint he’s left on my work.
