About Me

Limited only by imagination!

I can show you what a little creativity can do.

Arick Cohen Salmea
Executive Creative Leader

I love to put the awe in my work... and my name, it's Arick -- pronounced Awe-rick.

For over a decade I’ve been a creative leader in digital marketing and have worked my way through being; a Designer, an Art Director, and a Creative Director in Los Angeles. I’ve built and led award-winning motion graphic design teams. I've been at the forefront of companies which have been responsible for creating rich digital content in advertising for film and television and social.

In addition, I’ve also worked in video production, print and web development with a vast experience in branding, key-art, photography and e-commerce and a hunger for AR/VR projects.

SPECIALTIES

SOCIAL

I have evolved with the web, adapting my skill-set to emerging technologies and building on the old ones. Simple promos to electric sizzles, experiential to full emersion, I relish the opportunity.

Film/Video Content

Starting in photography and transitioning into film, I learned how to create films and videos of all types, from simple promo video and commercials to films I know how to make it happen from page to screen.

MOTION GRAPHICS

What happens when you merge a graphic artist with a video content creator? You end up with a motion graphics artist. As an expert in After Effects, the only limit is your imagination.

KEY ART

As a graphic artist I gravitated to the photographic image, studying and learning the nuance and the importance of detail. I don't just direct, I get down in the trenches and do what needs to get done.

What people say?

I work in a highly creative profession, and rarely have I collaborated with someone as driven, passionate, and yes, creative, as Arick Salmea. We've worked on multiple digital projects together over the years whether it's consulting from the outside, or related passion projects, and every time, Arick's desire to push beyond the expectations never ceases to amaze me. I hope we can work together in an official capacity one day at the same company, but until then, I strongly recommend you collaborate with him.

What people give?

I give Arick the highest accolades. High responsibility level, smart, creative, very personable and he did an outstanding job for me. A professional gem. Anyone hiring this guy is in for a rare treat. Someone who can take tasks and handle problems. He has great aesthetic and technology knowhow. He will make any boss look good and probably start taking Fridays off because he has Arick in the office.

What people know?

I have known Arick to be an invaluable creative visionary. His imaginative enthusiasm and unwavering persistence is contagious to those around him, committing himself whole-heartedly to every project he undertakes. Arick’s keen artistic sensibilities are manifested not only through his vocation with the camera, but with the digital pen as well. Arick is a hard worker and fully invested in his craft. He is a team player who always brings people up. Based on my experiences with Arick, I believe that he would be an asset to any organization.

What people need?

Arick is always a very enjoyable person to work with. He created a very interesting and artful website for our CDMA History utilizing Flash that gave us incredible animations, menus, and interactivity. It was clear, clever, and very intuitive design. His knowledge of UI/UX is ahead of its time and the technology is finally catching up to his visions. His enthusiasm and energy will be missed. In my estimation as Qualcomm's Principal Engineer/Manager, Arick would make an excellent and dedicated asset for any company.

What people rely on?

Arick worked on many projects for our company and always created and designed very high level work. He is an unbelievably talented graphic designer and creative partner. He truly loves his craft while still embracing the clients' needs. I was impressed with his ability to balance strategic, creative concepts and practical considerations. He has big picture skills and a keen eye and a real attention to detail.

Aaron S. Karp, Marketing Innovations International (MII)

What people find out?

Arick is a true artist! Not only does he have the knowledge and intelligence to do computer programming and web design, but he also truly has an eye when it comes to marketing. He is a pleasure to work with, friendly and smart-to-the-point and most importantly easy to communicate with. I highly recommend him.
