We create responsible products and services through design
How did this all start?
The story of Stride XL began when David and Ondra met while working at a global corporation, where they were both designers. Their common motivation to do meaningful and effective work led them to start their own business, where they have imprinted their ambitions and where they can pursue innovative projects. Gradually, like-minded designers began to join the team and today, in a team of 20+ people, we are working towards common values that move us forward.
The values we share
Respect
Everything we create respects real human needs, dignity and privacy. We strive to improve people's quality of life.
Passion
We love our work and see great value in it.
Ethics
We reject design practices that manipulate or exploit users. We do not work on projects that could lead to harm to society or the environment.
Objectivity
We reject design practices that manipulate or exploit users. We do not work on projects that could lead to harm to society or the environment.
Collaboration
We love interdisciplinary collaboration. Together we can create a better future. At the same time, we work with clients and partners who respect our values.
Growth
We are constantly learning, reflecting on our work and adapting to new knowledge. We keep abreast of technological and societal changes to keep our work relevant and meaningful. We also educate our clients.
Freedom
We believe in freedom and support fair working conditions.
Sustainability
We strive for long-term and real solutions instead of short-term trends. We refuse to contribute to a fast-paced consumer culture. We design so that our solutions can withstand time and be improved over time. Functionality and quality are more important to us than trends. We create products and services that minimize the ecological footprint - from design to implementation.
Inclusion
We consider diversity and design with all users in mind, regardless of age, ability or cultural background.
Meaningfulness
We focus on products that deliver real value and are not just generic copies of many others. We design products that innovate and make an indelible contribution to society.
Thoroughness
We work methodically and avoid dangerous shortcuts in the design process and research design.
Communication
We communicate our processes, decisions and impact clearly and understandably. We are always honest and transparent, even if it's sometimes hard to hear. We involve clients in the design process. We're not afraid to show how we work.
Experience
We always have the situation firmly under control - we have the experience to guide clients through even the most difficult challenges and unexpected problems. We stand by the fact that our work must make an impact on your business.
And lest we forget – we look at things with a perspective. We're not afraid to joke around, we do it often and we love to do it!
We know how to party
We like to spend time together at company breakfasts, teambuilding, parties or just over coffee. We educate, inspire each other and are just a good bunch in general.
