His standout project includes leading the creation of a vibrant mural for Verizon at their Coconut Grove location, showcasing his exceptional talent and vision. Dee was very excited to paint a mural for Verizon alongside Roc Sol for Verizon’s Coconut Grove store and the community within it. He wanted to create a design that showcases the neighborhood within Coconut Grove by highlighting landmarks such as Vizcaya as well as the community and their love for pets. The community has loved the mural and it brings us joy to be able to have painted this mural for Verizon, bringing this vision to life.
