A trusted design partner for ambitious teams that scale organisations through design.

When product delivery hits the ceiling, it’s usually not a lack of talent or ambition; it's a sign of a lost signal over the noise. We understand that; we close the gap by systemising handoffs and automating your data so that you can do what you do best – run your business.

Role and Position

Freelancer – Radeeyah Adedokun

Jiri opened me up to a whole new world of designs and possibilities. Based on how he tackled the situation and the call, it is evident that he cares a lot about his mentees.

FILA – Ivan Rerat

Jiri is great at identifying your design issues and finding the quickest way to become the best version of yourself! With extensive experience and a strong understanding of the world, Jiri is a superb mentor.

Deel – Lucie Chen

Jiri is a mentor who can quickly identify the key issues that you might not be aware of and give you open & honest advice based on his experience. I learnt so much from both engaging with him through our mentor session, reading his articles and reading the book he recommended.

Product Operating Model

Proposition Shaping

Identifying performance gaps in delivery often leads to a simplified definition or weak chain of information broadcast between business and delivery. At GIVE™ studio, we first establish a clear engagement strategy and reporting to minimise the number of meetings. PiD (or PRD) summarising business design, engineering and integration requirements, including SLA. To enable advanced automation, we translate your proposition into high-fidelity BDD requirements that your engineering teams can actually build upon, and designers can translate into skills and gems to explore the proposition.

Design Shaping

Clear PRDs and HLRs drive automated prototyping against agreed KPIs documented (for development) and reported (for business) in a single knowledge base. This cuts the synthesis time from months to weeks, delivers qualitative insights for internal squads, and sharpens the velocity for the rest of the project. At GIVE™, we don't just shape only how a product looks; we shape the ability to sustainably deliver increments while expanding the vocabulary of the whole team.

Refinement

Some companies ship what they see; others have a content team to pull the brand, campaign or product brand right into the middle of existing products. At GIVE™, we bridge the gap by defining multifaceted brands that reflect the diversity of the "Strategy" and "Shipping” products and services across Agentic Organisation.

Development

A transparent, shared knowledge base shapes the very communication among team members. Less noise and more signals: whether you are on Atlassian or Linear, you can link your issues directly to the design and the design to the code. At GIVE™, we cut the guesswork and minimise handover by connecting the knowledge between operators and agents.

Integration

Some agencies treat "Going Live" as someone else's problem, leaving teams on the other side of the world in despair and frustration about how we might deliver this? Over the journey, we have a track record of marking all our decisions in code and design. So that the guesswork and handovers are minimal. At GIVE™, we value everyone’s time; that is why the integration is an exercise for the entire team to close one chapter and move to another. The release is the same for all product, design and delivery.
