Below are my seven top tips and rules that every designer should consider. I began developing these while studying at TU Delft in 2013 and have actively used them since. Hopefully you find them useful in developing your own practice. Please comment and add your own below and remember to take a look at some of my projects.

Welcome to my 2019 Giffgaff Review. This article aims to be the fairest and most comprehensive review of the experience, from sign up to everyday use. I started using Giffgaff in 2009, and have used them ever since. I've had the chance to try nearly everything they have to offer. Recently they rebuilt the network foundation switching platforms and this felt like the perfect time for an in-depth review.
Giffgaff is a UK Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) that launched on 25 November 2009. The network takes its name from an old Gaelic word meaning “mutual giving” . This set out the principles outlined in the manifesto, of being member-run, always listening and rewarding people for their involvement.
This is unique to Giffgaff – its customers are its cornerstone and everyone has the opportunity to help each other. From customer service, sales and marketing to competitions and key decisions, everything takes place through the community. GiffGaff members are rewarded on a regular basis with offers, community points and optionally cash.

The greatest design challenge facing humanity right now is the climate crisis. Please consider taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint by switching your default search engine to Ecosia and buying less stuff.
An important part of reducing our footprints is also tree protection. If you sign up to Mytrees using my code 2f0789433f you can protect 62 trees straight away (number estimate from conservation international). You can see how many trees I've protected so far in the website footer.
We only have one planet, it's worth saving.
Thanks, Stiven.
(with love)
