Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Gigan is a seasoned Graphiste and Front-end developer with over two decades of experience shaping visual and interactive web experiences, now focused on TypeScript and React within Office 365/SharePoint ecosystems. He began as a 2D/3D infographiste in 1996 and evolved into creative lead and senior integrator, combining design, accessibility, and responsive architecture across projects from cultural multimedia centers to enterprise SharePoint migrations. At Claranet and previously Circum, he has led UI/UX guidance and front-end implementations (SPFx, SharePoint Online) while contributing to notable open-source efforts like the PnP Modern Search React components. Comfortable spanning art direction and hands-on development, he brings deep expertise in design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD), modern web stacks (HTML5/CSS3, SASS/Less, JS/TS, React, Vue) and progressive web accessibility. Based in Caen, he remains a curious autodidact—exploring three.js and tone.js—and balances practical enterprise solutions with creative experimentation.
