New firm looks to brighten Grand Rapids' design and creative landscape

The Brassworks building on N. Monroe is the home to a new digital creative studio.

Brightly,
the two-person firm founded by Larry Faragalli, opened their doors in October 2011. Their specialty is web and mobile user experience, but they also have the capacity to provide a full suite of digital services including design, marketing and content development.

According to Marion Siebert, lead designer, the firm services local and national clients, but their plan is to stay very lean. "We want to add people, but want to stay rather small, too. We are interested in finding interesting projects. We get excited in pushing the envelope and like doing things better than was done before."

Both Faragalli and Siebert have backgrounds in fine arts and a combined 23 years in design and web development. 

Siebert says the location was chosen for its proximity to downtown, but also because the "sheer beauty" of the building.
