Helping startups and scale-ups create seamless, growth-driven user experiences
Hi, I’m Giles!
I help early stage startups and scaleups deliver outstanding customer experience, business and product propositions.
With a portfolio featuring 35+ brands and 250+ digital products designed and delivered from idea, strategy to launch across multiple industry sectors, success has often been attributed to the quality of the experience I’ve helped to deliver.
These experiences help ensure consistency across touch points, emotional connection, customer satisfaction, better engagement, increased conversion and retention. Whilst at the same time, I aim to ensure they are also scalable and repeatable.
They’re about making the art of the possible actually happen!
As products and experiences increasingly become commoditised, user experiences are the only true differentiator and source of competitive advantage. If digital products and experiences are not aligned to customer needs/desires and business goals any company or organisation (small or large) will struggle going forward.
If you’re struggling to get consistent traction or your customers aren’t engaging with your product and propositioning as expected, or if you’re building a new zero-to-one product or platform and need to get the positioning right, you’re in the right place.
By unlocking product growth with my services and packages, you can skip struggling with traction and product/market fit challenges and realise your vision and business goals at pace!

FAQs
-
A customer-aligned, targeted positioning and user experience matters because it will help ensure your business resonates with your audience, foster deeper connections, and create an environment where your customers feel understood, valued, and loyal. This alignment not only drives short-term sales but also builds long-term brand equity and competitive advantage.

Better engagement, increased conversion, an aligned experience, customer satisfaction, retention, and competitive advantage.

At the end of the process you’ll get a Figma file and PowerPoint or Keynote pack including:

The end-to-end process takes up to 20 business days to get you the final homepage user experience design with suggested structure, sections, and copy. However, this timeline is highly dependent on how fast your team are able to engage in the process and provide feedback on the iterations.
-
A product message and UX audit is absolutely invaluable for early stage start-ups looking to establish a strong foundation for growth and achieve product/market fit, and for businesses with established products aiming to refine and evolve their product and user experience.
-
The audit will focus on core screens and flows encompassing the experience offered with a specific focus on the home page.

If necessary, any specific focus can be shaped by the priorities you set in our initial kick-off call. And if you need additional guidance and support I’d be happy to discuss this with you. Additionally, I provide separate hands-on marketing, UX research, strategy, UX-UI design and product/market fit services to implement the recommended changes and offer on-going support.

Testimonials
Curious about the impact of my work? Here are a few highlighted examples of feedback from previous clients about how their new or updated products and experiences have transformed their businesses.
“Giles has brought new levels of design engagement to the business. Introducing ‘a better way’ to think about product change and development. Giles’s conversations start, with no solution on the table, just pure why and who is it for?”
Client stakeholder
“What makes Giles special in the UX space is that it doesn't begin and end with with the specific channel in question – Giles begins with a comprehensive view of the ‘customer’ as opposed to just the ‘user’ – in understanding the whole lifecycle and how a specific project works within it. This is a key difference from other UX professionals and one of the reasons why all of our large website and app builds and client relationships were so successful.”
Business owner
“Giles has done some great work as well as setting high standards for the organisation. He’s the go- to-person for design and has the confidence of key senior stakeholders and the wider group.”
Client stakeholder
“Our platform wouldn’t be the product it is today without Giles. Giles has been very effective at working with, and handling, stakeholders of all levels, to ensure design is always a strategic contributor (and driver).”
