Public sector teams don't need another agency pitching "creativity." They need a supplier who understands frameworks, delivers on time, holds pricing steady, and can be trusted with recurring work across departments. That's the gap Phaff Design was built to fill.
Phaff Design Ltd is a London-based creative agency working across three connected service lines: Embedded Talent, Creative Services, and Phrint, our print management arm. Rather than positioning as a traditional agency with a single offer, we operate as a flexible extension of our clients' teams — scaling up or down depending on what a project actually needs, without the overhead of a permanent hire or the unpredictability of a one-off contractor.
Why Public Sector Buyers Work With Us
We are placed on the Haringey Council Dynamic Purchasing System across two lots: Lot 1 (Standard Print) and Lot 6 (Creative Services), with Merton Council auto-enrolled through the same framework. We are also have a placement on the Horsham Council list of approved suppliers. For procurement teams, this means the due diligence is already done — we understand compliant procurement routes, we know how to respond to call-offs quickly, and we operate with the transparency public sector work demands.
Sustainability is built into how we operate, not bolted on for tenders. Our Carbon Reduction Plan is published and publicly available, reflecting genuine commitments around supply chain and print sourcing — not just a document produced to tick a box.
Embedded Talent
Our flagship model places experienced designers directly inside client teams, working to their processes, sitting in their meetings, embedded in their delivery cycles — without the cost, risk, or lead time of permanent recruitment. This model started with a single design placement in 2022 and has since grown into a multi-designer engagement spanning several platforms for the same client, which remains our strongest proof point. For public sector organisations managing fluctuating design demand — campaign pushes, consultation documents, service redesigns — embedded talent offers senior-level capability without the headcount commitment.
Creative Services
Our creative team covers brand identity, UX/UI design, digital campaigns, and content production for organisations that need design done properly but don't have in-house capacity to do it. We've delivered work spanning public-facing digital products, service design, and marketing collateral, always led by senior practitioners rather than junior account teams learning on the client's budget. Every engagement is scoped around a clear deliverable and timeline, which matters when work has to be justified against a budget line and a business case.
Phrint — Print Management
Phrint is our dedicated print management service, built to handle everything from short-run stationery and signage to large-scale, multi-site print distribution. We manage sourcing, production, and delivery through vetted UK print partners, meaning clients get commercial-scale pricing and reliability without managing multiple supplier relationships themselves. Recent public sector work includes large-format map-folded print runs for council services, handled end-to-end from spec through to delivery coordination. Whether it's a single council notice or a multi-thousand-unit distribution run, Phrint is built to flex to the job.
How We Work
Our team is intentionally lean, which means less time lost to internal handovers and more direct access to the people actually doing the work. Every engagement — whether it's an embedded designer, a brand project, or a print run — is run with the same standard: clear scope, clear pricing, and clear accountability for delivery. We don't oversell capacity we don't have, and we don't pad timelines to protect margin. For procurement teams who have been burned by agencies overpromising and underdelivering, that discipline is the point.
We work with organisations across the private and public sector, including clients in insurance, education, technology, and local government, and we bring the same rigour to every engagement regardless of sector.

If your team needs design capability that can flex with demand, or a print partner that removes the operational burden of managing multiple suppliers, we'd welcome the conversation.
