Go Cats! As an alumnus of Western Carolina University (bachelor's in '09, master's in '20) and a member of the Catamount Club, I have long been a supporter of WCU's growth and Catamount Athletics. In my spare time, I began creating designs that simply were not available in the bookstore or online. These were designs that I preferred over those that were available. That is when my friends and famil
y suggested sharing these designs with the Catamount faithful. After contacting Western's marketing department about this idea, samples of my designs were approved! With that, I opened my Etsy store under the name BZBI Co. and uploaded my first line of t-shirts. Since then, I have continued to release new designs and items to the platform. This is still very much a 1-man passion project, as I still have a 9-to-5 job, 2 kids, and a very supportive wife. I plan to keep contributing to the store as an alternative source for WCU apparel and gifts. As always, Go Cats! I hope to see you someday soon in Catamount Country!
