FOR PRODUCT ORGANIZATIONS

SPLITFIRE / TEAMS

A shared design language for everyone shipping the product.

Bring designers, PMs, and engineers around one friction, one baseline, and one change the whole team can inspect.

01
WORKSHOP WEEK

Solo designers

Strengthen your eye: Recognise the useful patterns already sitting in real interfaces. · Defend decisions: Explain the why without retreating behind taste. · Use AI deliberately: Give an agent a real workflow instead of a wish. · Win client trust: Make the evidence — and the limitations — visible.

02
WORKSHOP WEEK

Fresh designers

Learn by doing: Build instinct through short interactions, not long reading. · Find your vocabulary: Put names to the principles you already feel. · Prepare for critique: See the issue before you see the surface polish. · Grow beyond tools: Develop judgment that survives the next software change.

03
WORKSHOP WEEK

Product managers

Give useful feedback: Move the conversation from taste to rationale. · Catch risk earlier: Recognise friction and missing states while they are cheap. · Align with design: Share one language for the trade-off you are making. · Review AI output: Know when an interface only sounds thoughtful.

04
WORKSHOP WEEK

Design teams

Onboard consistently: Give everyone the same foundation in the same week. · Sharpen critique: Warm up on a shared challenge before the real review. · Codify practice: Turn your process into protocols instead of folklore. · Protect quality: Put a standard around accelerated production.

05
WORKSHOP WEEK

Design engineers

Bridge intent and code: Carry the interaction logic through to implementation. · Harden interfaces: Find the keyboard, loading and recovery gaps first. · Give agents context: Make the system legible to the tools working in it. · Prove the build: Verify behaviour, not the explanation of behaviour.
