Meet Brian "Bojo" Bojanowski, your friendly neighborhood Digital Art & Design teacher! With a teaching career that could fill an entire yearbook, Bojo has worn just about all the hats—seriously. From special education to 2nd grade, 4th grade, and art, he's finally found his home at Catawba Ridge High School, where he says teaching DAAD is by far his favorite gig. (Translation: You’re stuck with him, and he’s thrilled about it.)
Not only is he comfortably busy and established in the classroom, but outside school, Bojo is an entrepreneur. He and his wife founded and franchised Noah’s Art, a children's art center, and he runs Bojo Print & Design, his side hustle that’s a big deal in the world of traveling musicians. He's worked with actual bands like Fall Out Boy, The Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Manchester Orchestra, and 5 Seconds of Summer. Rockin'!... right?
When he's not molding young minds or designing for rockstars, Bojo is all about the good stuff in life: family time with his wife and two boys, tackling mountain bike trails, rocking out at live shows, devouring tacos like it's an Olympic sport, binge-watching the next big series, and passionately rooting for the Packers, Hornets, Clemson Football, and Duke Basketball. Basically, he's got the life balance thing down.
So buckle up, DAAD students—Bojo's class is where design meets dad jokes, and every lesson is a new adventure!
