Mission and Values
Buff was founded on a love of motion design and the desire to strike a good balance, both inside and outside of work. So while everyone is passionate about their craft, the team are encouraged to leave the office on time – which isn’t often the trend in the creative industry.
The studio designs their project process with this in mind, meaning it’s very rare to see them working into the night. Buff believe that with a supported and valued team, each person can flourish and create their best work.

Culture and Benefits
Buff aims to create a culture where the team feels supported and valued. It does this through a strong emphasis on personal development, encouragement, coaching, mentoring, training and development days to take some time out from client work.
Collaboration is encouraged, and the team is involved in contributing to the company’s agenda and manifesto for the year ahead.
The team also spends time together outside of work with regular social events and away days to learn new skills, improve wellbeing and gain wider knowledge.
