Wiredrive has lost a dear friend and family member, Stephanie Ogaz
It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Stephanie Ogaz, our longtime friend and first employee here at Wiredrive. At 31, Stephanie was way too young.
Stephanie started with us in April 2000 as a receptionist and quickly worked her way up into Wiredrive support, programming and ultimately into one of the best Information Architects in the industry. Stephanie, or “sogaz” around the office, worked behind the scenes so not many people know how instrumental she was in Wiredrive development. She helped us understand the fine intricacies of Wiredrive and made everything feel ordered and simple. She was incredibly detail-oriented and artistic, two traits not often found together. She was heavily responsible for sculpting the Wiredrive workflow that you all use on a daily basis and is a primary reason that Wiredrive is as successful as it is today. We just always took it for granted that she’d be with us to help us do more.
Stephanie, we love you and will miss you tremendously. We all feel that we’ve lost a family member. We promise to take really good care of the plants and the animals around the office and will remember you in our daily lives, especially when it comes to the fine details.
We will miss you,
Your Wiredrive Family
