Paper Rhino is a Peterborough design co-op offering creative services in graphic design, illustration, art, typography, animation, and website design. We’re based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, and we work with clients locally as well as across the UK.
We founded Paper Rhino to use our creative skills for good. As a result, we support ethical businesses, charities, and community-led groups. We’re a small team of passionate creatives who care deeply about what we do. Each team member, in fact, brings unique talents and a shared belief that design can help build a better world.
Why a Design Co-op?
We chose to be a workers’ co-operative because we believe it’s the fairest way to run a business. Instead of a traditional hierarchy, we work together and make decisions as a team. This way, everyone feels involved and valued. You can learn more about Co-operatives here: https://www.uk.coop/
