Paul Giles – Web Developer

I am a Senior Digital Designer with over 14 years experience creating bespoke, responsive websites for creative agency and in-house roles.

Overview

Transforming complex ideas into intuitive experiences:

Creative digital design with purpose.


An informed, accessible and sustainable approach to user experience (UX) user interface design (UI).


I have extensive experience designing and building websites across several industries. This allows me to be flexible with my approach and open with my process.


If you need something unique or not quite sure which direction to go I'm happy to explore this together. I can also work extremely quickly when needed, creating effective experiences quickly without cutting corners.


I'm a big Terry Pratchett fan and find myself reading a lot of fantasy and science fiction in recent years.


I'm a big movie fan too which has caused me to read a lot of the older science fiction/fantasy that inspire modern franchises like Phillip K Dick & Diana Wynne Jones, . I'm actually writing my own YA fantasy book at the moment too.


Through my career I have worked with a wide array of large and small clients including:

Adidas, Anything.World, BBC, Canon, CCP Games, Clarivate, Content Catalyst, Crew Clothing Company, Laurent Perrier, King.com(Candy Crush), Knockbawn Ltd, O'Neil, Phillips, Pokerstars, Range Rover, Riot Games, Team 17, TWITCH, Ubisoft.

Projects

Knockbawn - Responsive Website Design

Creating a website that would help raise the quality and appearance of this construction company. This website was used to secure funding from giant investors from the industry.

Recovered - Escape Routine

I wanted to create a website that went against all of the usual client stipulations to try and free up some of my creative boundaries.

Giving in to creative freedom has it's own restrictions!

Introducing long form content and online case studies to Clarivate.com

Our goal was to start bringing reports and longer form content online in an interesting, authentic and interactive way.

Long form articles can be used to drive users further into the content and create deeper relationships with the brand. While improving SEO, engagement and the quality of data collected on the user's behaviour along the way.

Content Catalyst: Revitalising a Digital Brand

Tasked with modernising a two-decade-old digital brand with maximum efficiency. By leveraging Material User Interface (MUI) design system, we bridged the technology gap, empowering both the team and myself to prioritise enhancing the user experience.

As the sole designer, I proactively engaged development and management teams from the project's inception, facilitating collaborative brainstorming sessions to ensure alignment and foster innovation.

Top 100 Global Innovators 2022 website design

Our goal was to recreate our sub-site with a focus on the improved methodology reflecting advances in data science and the IP landscape.
‍We needed a strong narrative within the content structure to drive users deeper into our content and connect with our brand.

I've included several of the original concepts here and some examples of the research made to inform our design decisions.

TWITCH SCOUT - Learning Platform

A beautiful concept created to guide new users through the process of building a career as a content creator for TWITCH.

Each Page was to be full with gamification and interactivity to guide and reward the user, driving them deeper into the learning journey.

Amigo Agency Website Redesign

An overhaul of the digital outlook using the exciting new brand
After creating a new brand for the agency our team was tasked with bringing this to life for digital output and showcasing all the work our agency was involved with.

The bold new direction given to us instantly set us in motion to creating a exciting digital interpretation.

Candy Crush Franchise Hub

To elevate the brand experience, I adopted a consistent overhead perspective, reminiscent of old-fashioned sweet shop counters.

This choice imbues elements with depth and tangibility, blending familiar brand motifs with vintage inspirations and abstract shapes derived from the brand font
