J. Sakiya Sandifer, author and COO for Kanye West's West Brands LLC. Known for taking seemingly complex topics -- particularly business and philosophy and how they influence our everyday experiences, and express them in very simple language, Sakiya has
- SAKIYA SANDIFER is building the career of his dreams. His company, We Think LLC, was launched in
March 2006, and is already garnering critical acclaim from entrepreneurs and creative marketing
executives alike. His projects range from corporate brand identities, print ads, to speech writing and
most recently publishing. As a result, Sakiya is turning skeptics into instant fans.
His experience includes an unfinished education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which
introduced Sakiya to basic graphic design skills, the backbone of his future. It was during this time
Sakiya began turning a hobby designing flyers for his fraternity into his future career. Following his
stint in college, Sakiya relocated to his hometown of Chicago and started his first company from his
living room floor. His persistence paid off after he frequented his local Kinko's after hours in hopes of
establishing relationships to obtain clients.
The result was a growing steady business for ten years that was created from the simple mantra: producing exceptional designs to attract loyal clientele.With the inspiration of the everyday life, Sakiya was motivated to continue to grow into a new direction: to become one of top creative thinkers of his generation. With this new life goal, he realized that he had to create a platform to express his ideas. The end result became the backbone for his first book, "Think Think Think and Think Again: The Power of Ideas Designed to Spark Change." The short book of "SAKIYA-ISMS" is a collection of his unique ideas designed to be a spark for those seeking to create a positive change in their life.
In the short amount of time since its first publishing, Sakiya was able to build a loyal fan-base locally
as well as internationally, and was able to use "Think Think Think and Think Again", as the foundation
for the curriculum of the 2006-2007 Youth Development Program in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Known for taking seemingly complex topics -- particularly business and philosophy and how they
influence our everyday experiences, and expressing them in very simple language, Sakiya has
developed a speaking and workshop series entitled "Thinking Like an Entrepreneur Changed My
Life!" that has already been utilized by a diverse number of current and aspiring entrepreneurs, as
well as business entities as a vital tool for generating sustainability initiatives in their personal and
business lives.
Sakiya’s profound ability to think outside the box has garnered him the moniker of the new
generation philosopher, being praised as one of the top speakers at the TEDx Istanbul conference
that took place in Turkey 2010.
In addition to attending various speaking dates and working on upcoming business collaborations for
We Think, LLC, Sakiya is currently promoting his third book entitled, "A Book of Questions with One
Answer", the first book released since the hugely popular, “Thank You and You’re Welcome”, which
he co-authored along side Grammy Award winning artist Kanye West in 2008.
What continues to surprise Sakiya the most about his success is the simplicity of his breakthrough
moments. "It always seems in hindsight that breakthrough moments are always so simple," explains
Sakiya. In looking to the future, Sakiya seeks to empower others with techniques of combining
critical and creative thinking with one key idea: Believe inward to become better!
