His first solo exhibition titled ‘The Blacker the Berry’ premiered at Public Functionary (2017) to wide acclaim with Juxtapoz Magazine writing, “The show is delicately complex and understated, yet unapologetically bold and confident in it’s humility.”

He has also amassed a list of clientele that includes the New York Times, Apple, PAPER Magazine, Timberland, Redbull, Vox Media, Ghetto Gastro, and others.
