Fashion

After attending Miami International School of Art and Design Wright began to design luxury shoes and accessories operating under a created private label. After initially designing luxurious women's shoes as merchandise for his band to separate the now defunct Empire band from the consistent pattern of T-shirt and bottle caps as the only options a band had to offer fans, Wright received warm reactions from the Houston,Texas affluent that he created the Empire Collection accessories brand and the M•L•A•M (My Life's A Movie) luxury brand under the HEART Portfolio.

Technology

After losing his phone on a way to a football meeting, Wright developed the Locator1 wireless paging system first to allow himself to stop being late to important meetings due to something as simple as a cell phone. Wright soon discovered that 113 phones are lost every minute and has since filed a patent and taken the prototype into a full scale final design separating the Locator1 series from applications and external attachments by allowing phones to be located and retrieved despite battery life or ring tone/vibration loudness. The Locator1 computerized cell phone case launched the creation of Empire Tech.
