About BrightWork > BrightWork Core Team
|
Nelson Bright, the president, is the chief architect and software developer. Nelson started his engineering career designing electronic switching systems and computer hardware for Bell Laboratories after receiving his Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and his BA and Bachelors of Engineering from Dartmouth College. He moved into software development 15 years ago to leverage internet capabilities and started designing websites.
About ten years ago, he saw the need for non-profits and small businesses to be able to maintain and update their own websites without relying on technology gurus or having to learn programming. He then started creating what is now the WYMSY website management system. He continually solicits client input and is constantly adding features to the WYMSY software.
He is skilled in programming in Cold Fusion, JavaScript, HTML, XML and CSS.

Daniel Hillinger, affectionately known as "Dilly" to those who care to use nicknames, joined the team in late 09, hired as an intern at first then kept on from thereafter.
He has an extensive background in Art and Design, as well as a good business head on his shoulders. This mostly stems from owning and running an "upstart" record label and studio from his home in Gloucester. He is proficient in Quark XPress and Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc on both Mac and PC platforms. He is an aspiring professional photographer, with a gallery hanging in Lee's restaurant (East Main St in Gloucester).
He handles the majority of the design work and client interactions involved, and is a go-getter in the sense of nothing matters more to him than supplying the best possible website to our clients.
He has both an Associates Degree and a Certificate in Digital Graphic Design, as well as a stack of artwork and a professional portfolio, some of which is featured on this site as examples. He resides in Gloucester, has a passion for arts and entertainment, and thrives on "one-on-one" client interactions.

"My main concern is getting the client what they
want before they expect it. I have a passion for mom and pop
business, and I find it personally satisfying that
I can help them grow and prosper with
a pro looking site and new web presence."
-Dilly
"I put my heart and soul into my designs,
and can provide anything from funky to button
down corporate. I believe in my ability to communicate
with clients, and get to what they really want."
-Dilly
My mantra is: The two most important words in graphic design are
legibility and readablity. Then you worry about creativity.
-Dilly
