Stephy Hogan - Golf Carts, Glitter, Guitar and The Guild

Jul 20 2021 • 27 mins

Stephy is 2 parts designer, 2 parts developer, 3 parts perfectionist, and 1 part impatient mother. She's a founding board member and Vice President on the Presentation Guild board of directors, is a design engineer by day, runs her own business by night, barely plays guitar, and loves glitter. Once, she drove through a tire fire on a golf cart at work when she was a chemist. Now she enjoys making typically mundane experiences a lot more fun--like sitting through an 80 slide benefits presentation, dealing with that really crappy website, or reading this bio.

Three Quotes From This Episode

"I'm a huge accessibility advocate. I say accessibility, "is it compliant?" until I'm blue in the face. I get tired of me saying it. So to be fair to all of our friends who don't see or hear the way we see or hear, right, colorblind, folks, you have to be aware of the colors you're using."
On the Presentation Summit - "Some of the most brilliant people in the industry attend. All of the industry leaders go there once who's been there to every single Summit...And everyone there is incredibly friendly and inclusive and pulls you into conversations, even though it's your first time. That's what happened to me. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. And now they're all my best friends."
On the Presentation Guild - When you join as the Guild, our whole purpose is to give everyone a sense of community - to go "oh my gosh, there are other people out there like me who do this weird job that no one else seems to want to do!"... I found the people! We want everybody to come in and feel that way."
