BUZ White Screenprint

Leon "Buz" White was born in Corvallis Oregon in 1933. His nickname was given to him because he had a lot of energy as a child. He had the entrepreneurship spirit at an early age with his own paper route. He later graduated from the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls with a degree in graphic design.

Screen-print or "silk-screen" technology was cutting edge during this time and is still a very effective method for print media. In 1961, with the invaluable help of his wife Carol, Buz created his own sign company out of his garage in Portland.
