Testimonials

Trisha is the kind of assistant every composer hopes to find. She is highly self-motivated, hard working, and communicative. She’s also very skilled at technical jobs (engraving, editing, etc.) and inspired as a composer and orchestrator.
She consistently delivers projects ahead of schedule and possesses a rare ability to master new software and workflows instantly - always seeking out shortcuts and automation to maximize efficiency.
Trisha is incredibly warm interpersonally and gifted socially; she has a natural ability to quickly anticipate a collaborator's needs. All of this, combined with her intuition and artistic talent, has me convinced that she is going to be a major force in the film scoring industry. I hope we can keep collaborating for a long time, and it would be a privilege to co-score a feature with her one day.

Trisha composed a piece of music for the student film Ballerina in the Box, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her work was not only of exceptional quality but also delivered in a highly time-efficient manner. Her communication throughout the process was outstanding, making collaboration smooth and effortless. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
- Seth Culliford (Ballerina in a Box)

Trisha composed the score for my short documentary film and it was a pleasure working with her. Her communication throughout the project was excellent and she was committed to producing something we thought was perfect, creating many versions with tiny tweaks for us. She was entirely professional and incredibly talented which meant the final outcome is something I am so so happy with!
- Phoebe Brooks (Director, Clare's Law)

Working alongside Trisha has been a pleasure. From the moment she expressed interest in my short film, I knew I was in good hands. Our initial discussions were insightful, and Trisha demonstrated an understanding of my vision. When she presented the first iteration of the music after just a few weeks, I was impressed by the quality and direction. The collaboration flowed well as we exchanged feedback and fine-tuned the composition. The end result surpassed my expectations, adding depth and emotion to my film that I couldn't have achieved alone. I'm incredibly grateful for Trisha's work. My film has truly been elevated by her work, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
