ABOUT ME

TISHA DI FRESCO

Founder & Frontend Engineer, BrightPath Web Studio

I build websites and web applications around how a business actually works: who its customers are, what they need to do, and what's getting in the way. Most of that work happens in React and TypeScript, and every project starts with understanding the business first.

My Journey

Where It Started

Where It Started

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Web Development from Full Sail University in June 2024, graduating as class valedictorian with the Advanced Achievement Award and two Director's Awards.

The Lighthouse That Started It All

The Lighthouse That Started It All

At my graduation, one of my instructors gifted me a lighthouse, symbolizing guidance, resilience, and perseverance. It was a reminder that even in the darkest times, we can find our way forward. This symbol became the foundation for BrightPath Web Studio LLC, inspiring me to help businesses navigate the digital world with confidence and clarity.

Building for Real Businesses

Building for Real Businesses

Since graduating, I've been building production work through BrightPath and contract work: marketing sites, custom React applications, and business systems with authentication, role-based access and real data behind them. It's work that has to hold up after launch, not just on launch day.

How I Approach Every Project

How I Approach Every Project

Start with the business: who its customers are, what they need to do, and where the website can help. Then build what solves it well, with clean, component-based code that's fast, accessible and easy to maintain.

Selected Work

A closer look at two recent builds. The full case studies, and more projects, are in the portfolio.

Custom React + TypeScript Build

AweStruck Intelligence

A custom site for a Biblically-centered SEL curriculum, built from scratch in React and TypeScript. It features an interactive, audio-driven AMP wheel and video walkthroughs, on a performance-first architecture that keeps heavy scroll animation fast on mobile.

Legacy Platform Modernization

Dale Tiffany Retailer Portal & CRM

Rebuilt a 20-year-old PHP platform as a modern React and TypeScript system. Retailers sign in to a secure B2B portal for wholesale ordering, with role-based access giving retailers and admins different tools, and the team runs leads and its sales pipeline in an integrated CRM.

Why Work With Me

Good websites start with understanding the business behind them.

Business First

Before I design or write any code, I learn how your business works, who your customers are, and what you need your website to do. The build follows from that, not from a template.

Clear Communication

No jargon, no disappearing acts. I keep you informed at every step with regular updates, quick responses, and explanations that actually make sense.

True Collaboration

Your input matters throughout the process. I see every project as a partnership where your feedback shapes the final result.

Built to Last

Clean, well-structured code, fast load times and accessibility built in from the start, so your site keeps working well long after launch.

Skills & Expertise

The technologies behind the work. You don't need to know any of them, but they're why the sites I build are fast, reliable and ready to grow.
