Sophie Chater, Freelance Senior Producer
Arecibo is the one-man studio of me, Graham Anderson, an award-winning, independent creative director and designer with 15+ years of experience.
My approach is shaped by my values – curiosity, creativity, openness and integrity – as well as my deep roots in the subculture of skateboarding. That perspective brings authenticity and critical thinking to my work, and gives my clients’ projects an edge, helping them connect meaningfully with their audiences.
Why the name Arecibo? I needed a suitably pretentious name to define my commercial work – the Arecibo Telescope explored the universe and transmitted pictures to the cosmos – a bit like me. See my other work at grahamanderson.co.uk.
