To solely say J is one of the most venerated men in the design industry; would be an understatement. Born and raised in Hollis Queens New York, his professional desire was realized at a young age.
With an evoked confidence, motivation, and a sense of direction, this allowed J to navigate around the traps of urban life that snared many of his peers.
