Hi, I am Giles,
A digital strategist, producer and designer, with extensive experience in producing award-winning websites and mobile apps for broadcasters and cultural institutions across the globe.
I have a considerable background in delivering complex projects, with multiple stakeholders and global teams. This has been gained through working with some of the world’s leading brands and broadcasters, developing projects and content across the entertainment, travel and arts sectors.
The intersection of human interaction, visual design, technology and storytelling have always fascinated me, especially when they can be combined to bring concepts to life in new and compelling ways. I am passionate about delivering projects that work aesthetically, functionally and intuitively for the end-user.
My goal, is always to forge deep, emotional connections by pushing narrative mediums. I like to discover how new ideas emerge and develop processes that lead to the production of rich content. This drive has led me to be the creator of multiple, award-winning productions.

- Antenna LabStamp House produced an Antenna Lab event at the National Gallery, which brought together experts in museum / Gallery learning and education, and digital engagement. The day event explored how we best engage young people and under represented groups in Ancient art and cultural heritage and the role technology can play in enabling new forms of participation and engagement.
- The Art of the Brick appNathan Sawaya is an artist who makes amazing works of art from lego pieces. Working together with Antenna International, I designed the screens for an app that provided an interactive tour for The Art of the Brick Exhibition at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore. The look and feel of the app was designed to work in harmony with the exhibition branding and Nathan’s artwork. Antenna International then developed by these designs into an app.
- Antenna International Brand RedesignTo redesign Antenna’s brand identity. The project consisted of the design of the brand, together with the website, exhibition stand, product housing and marketing collateral. The prisms in logo were inspired by refracting light & multiple possibilities. It also represents the elements the company brings together to ensure a seamless visitor experience.
