AKISIA GRIGSBY

REMEMBER WHEN ARTISTS such as KANYE WEST, DMX, MUSIQ SOULCHILD, DANITY KANE, THE DIPLOMATS and NEYO BEGAN THEIR FIRST ALBUM? I creative directed and branded many celebrities' images, albums and products, such as these artists, at the start of their careers. Born from a Dominican mother and American father, I am a natural-born leader whose mission in life is to motivate and inspire others. I am the founder of Akzas (pronounced "Access"), a brand imaging multicultural agency of Atomic Designs. Since the inception of Atomic Designs in 2000, I have completed multimillion-dollar campaigns in industries that penetrate urban and Hispanic markets. Previously, I worked as the creative director of VEVO.com, Sean John Branding & Advertising and Bad Boy Entertainment, amongst others. As an alumni of Parsons School of Design, I have always been a true philosopher and physicist at mind, an artist by trade, an entrepreneur by spirit and community advocate by heart. As a native New Yorker and resident of Jersey City, I enjoy my passions: philosophizing about the cosmos, painting, drawing, designing and advocating for the children of her community.
