If you’ve seen bright, tropi- cal t-shirts around campus, chances are they’re made by the student-run company Zeyba. The eco-friendly company was founded on Earth Day of this year by seniors Stefano Daza and Tim Marty. The two originally wanted to create an app, but decided a cloth- ing company would appeal to a larger crowd. With Daza’s business savvy and Marty’s creative genius, the compa- ny was born. Daza serves as the company’s CEO,Marty as creative director, and ju- nior Kamilah Robison as the team’s social media director.
