B-Bam! Custom T-Shirts

LESLIE LIPPI, PRESIDENT & HEAD B-BAMINAL

Leslie relocated to Seattle in 1989 after graduating from Mount Holyoke College with degrees in International Relations and Women's Studies. With an innate entrepreneurial savviness, Leslie started several business ventures ranging from retail merchandising to personal training to interior design. Notably, in 1993, Leslie received the Greater Seattle Business Association Business Woman of the Year award. By 2002, Leslie began B-BAM!, a custom clothing store and has since then, grown the company to be solid force for not only apparel, but branded merchandise and creative services as well.

With a desire to stay active in the community, Leslie has donated her time to ACT UP! coached at-risk youth for YWCA, and once served on the board for the Chicken Soup Brigade.

In 2006, Leslie launched CommuniTEE, a public service project dedicated to assisting various non-profits throughout Seattle. She currently serves on Seattle's Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce as well.

When she's not in front of her MacBook Pro, orchestrating B-BAM!'s custom-made goodness, Leslie can be found drawing in her studio, playing with her two dogs, heading the discussion at her weekly book club, or perhaps a mix of all three activities. She's a multi-tasker, that Leslie.
