Hi, I’m Ikuko Aoki-Salinas, but most people call me Iko (e-ko). I’m a creative professional specializing in design and creative direction. Originally from Japan, I draw inspiration from diverse cultures, people, and art, which shapes how I think and create.
I’ve worked across healthcare, education, financial services, and hospitality. Over the past decade, my focus has been on integrated marketing and branding in healthcare. I enjoy collaborating with teams, guiding creative direction, and bringing complex ideas to life.
I truly love what I do and strive to stay curious and creative every day.
Set strategic direction, including media, to guide creative output and drive results
Develop ideas that capture attention, spark emotion, and inspire action
Align strategy, design, and execution to deliver impactful solutions
Use design to communicate ideas clearly and create meaningful audience connections
Here is a selection of my favorite projects, each reflecting a tailored approach to the unique needs of every client.
