Maren Hogan’s Interests:

My interests are varied. I began in communications, journalism and public relations. However, after a few years journalism gave way to public relations and event plannning and soon, I was designing brochures and websites. While I enjoy graphic design and marketing, I am also drawn to business solutions and project management. These are the skills I am honing now. In my free time, I come up with ideas that always need capital, sing, decorate everything and hang out with my husband and three sons. My husband is also my business partner and we make a great team!
