Ariel Miick

Ariel Miick is an entrepreneur with base operations split between Los Angeles and Colorado.  Los Angeles gives her an energy and connection through art, film and television.  Colorado provides inspiration with an active outdoor lifestyle. Together, the amazing balance of Yin/Yang shows up for her.

As founder of Miicks Media Production, over the last ten years, Ariel’s worked in live television, motion pictures, and advertising in Los Angeles.  She creates strong visual brands, understands brand strategy and facilitates client goals with consistent success.  Ariel’s adept at seeing and hearing “between the lines.”  She emerges as both an artist and business woman.  In both roles she understands deadlines, budgets and goals achieved.  

As an athlete Ariel was mentored from an early age in environmental awareness, to leave no trace; in her experience with weather/safety to be prepared, to anticipate; to read natural signs and to understand proximity.  With life and survival skills she was mentored to be “gear ready” to support her personal well-being in any outdoor sport, in being mindful, in seeing and BE-ing safe at the same time. Outdoor sports are one of her passions. 

Her Yin/Yang experience shines, integrating into sophisticated city life with the same ease she models in the backcountry.  Ariel was raised in the wings of theatres and restaurants at the same time she excels in alpine skiing, mountaineering and technical climbing both nationally and internationally.  Her learning and experience shows up as well riding mountain bikes and training with pro riders.  Ariel swam competitively for three years in school; canoeing on lakes and rivers; serving on Crew in high school where she sculled her Junior and Senior year.   

Her year round practice in yoga supports balance, awareness and an amazing ability to share her experience being present, with a smile and deep truth that connects.  

Ariel holds a B.A. from Hampshire College in Amherst, MA.  She studied abroad for advertising and fashion photography along with film at American Intercontinental University in London, UK and The Academy of Cinema in Athens, Greece.
