Arikia Millikan

With an educational background in biomedical engineering and psychology, my professional interests have always rested in the intersection of technology and the human mind. My journalistic training taught me to ask the right questions and seek answers from direct sources to uncover what lies beyond the surface of the apparent. I thrive while scrutinizing complexity and unblocking communication sticking points that occur when specialists are tasked with conveying information to a general audience. My client roster includes founders and thought leaders from fields such as biotechnology, venture capital, telemedicine, teletherapy, femtech, cybersecurity, and mixed reality media. I have always been a "straight shooter" when it comes to communication, which is ones of the reasons I now live in Berlin, Germany—a place where direct communication is prized and excessive sugarcoating is generally unwelcome. I favor clients who are interested in locating the root causes of their editorial production problems and are willing to take steps to adjust organizational misalignments in order to achieve higher levels of editorial quality and output.
