Finding a green design company can be a tough nut to crack, but Dandi Creative are as passionate about the environment, conservation, and the diversity of wildlife and their habitats, as we are about the designs we create.
As a small and friendly business we have spent years building longterm relationships with clients who have green values, sustainable practices, or have a need to demonstrate corporate social responsibilities. Included in this are organisations active in the fields of conservation and wildlife biodiversity. This experience means we fully understand the specialist design requirements of these sectors.
We recently completed an international field conservation project for Bristol Zoo's BCSF Cameroon programme entitled 'Voice of the People'.
The Dja Periphery Community Engagement and Support Project is part of the Great Ape Survival Partnership (Grasp), a UNEP-led initiative to save the world's great apes from extinction.
As part of our commitment to conservation we donate yearly to Ape Action Africa. View the project >>
As well as our standard design services we have several 'green' specialist services, including:
Interpretation signage
We have specialised in interpretation signage design for many years, and manage the entire project from design and print, through to frame manufacture and installation.
Biodiversity action plans
Having designed and produced biodiversity reports for some of our major clients, we have a real world understanding of the key design issues for these critical documents.
Wildlife illustration
One of our key specialist services is creating detailed wildlife illustrations. We can produce new illustrations to order or offer an extensive library of existing illustrations.
Our clients include Bristol Zoo, Avon Wildlife Trust, Bristol City Council, Forestry Commission, Good Energy and Folly Farm.

Dandi Creative works in partnership with Burleigh, a printing company who specialise in ‘green print’. Both companies share a commitment to sustainable and responsible social and environmental business practices.
Burleigh are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) which ensures paper can be sourced from verifiable and well managed sources. Look out for the FSC logo!
They also have extensive knowledge of the latest recycled and uncoated papers available, and use low environmental impact products such as vegetable-based printing inks and low VOC solvents (Volatile Organic Compound) which reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere. For special print finishes, they are able to source biodegradable laminates.
