About this list
Amsterdam's public-sector roster is service-design-led and civic: municipalities, police and national cultural and health institutions. Fabrique documents research-led service design for the Rijksmuseum and the UMC Utrecht teaching hospital; KOOS Agency evidences CX transformation for the Dutch National Police and the City of Amsterdam; The Brink Agency documents work for the Dutch Caribbean Police Force.
Rates cluster in the €100–149 per hour mid-band. Dutch public bodies procure through tender and hold to EN 301 549 accessibility, so documented conformance matters as much as craft.
The fit here is genuine citizen-service design across channels, not a marketing build. A police or municipal service touches staff, front-counter and digital at once — read each profile's documented public-sector engagements and editorial review to confirm end-to-end service-design depth, and match the healthcare or civic evidence to the institution you serve. With four studios, the documented rosters carry the shortlist.
Expert Insight
Why public-sector fit matters
Tender experience is a hard prerequisite: agencies without documented public work routinely fail procurement paperwork before design skill even enters the picture.
Accessibility is law in this sector — WCAG conformance and EN 301 549 experience are evidenced by delivered public services, not by a checkbox on a capabilities page.
Citizen-facing services have no churn escape valve: the design bar for inclusive, plain-language, failure-tolerant flows is higher than most commercial work.
Public evidence is public: engagements on this page are backed by published case studies — rare in a sector where references usually decide everything.
