Steph Hughes is my desk buddy and on average we exchange about 15 confused glances at each other each day. She's basically been in bands all her life and this whole sitting at a desk in an office painted puke yellow is a bit weird. She shares Home and Hosed with Dom Alessio. He's in Sydney, she's in Melbourne. She wins.
Steph is basically the raddest no nonsense chick getting around the Melbourne office. If you want to know anything about an Aussie band, she's your gal. Feeling sad? She'll write you a haiku about cheese. What more could you want for someone on the other end of your desk?
At night she plays in her massively awesome band Dick Diver. She's the one up the back hitting things with sticks. She says they named their band after an F Scott Fitzgerald character, but I think it's so she gets to legitimately say dick and still sound highbrow.
Steph goes through about a bahjillion demo cd's every week. People send her all kinds of bribes to play their music, once someone sent a stubby holder with a warm beer (FAIL bribe). But Steph's finely attuned music critique can't be bought. She's not going to hold back if she thinks your band is a bit crappy, but she'll also send you high fives and unicorns if your music is the good sort.
Steph likes to draw things and get away from the big city bustle in the bathroom. Quiet time. I once found a peanut she'd dropped while eating in the disabled toilet at work.
She is an amazing cook. One day she hopes to be Martha Stewart (minus the jail time and the twin set). Her signature recipe is tomato soup. Just take some tomato sauce and a cup of hot water. Combine. AMAZING!! While you're in the kitchen, why not try her amazing noodle recipe? Buy a packet of noodles add boiling water, wait 2 minutes, then eat.
