About Us

Hogan Made is a Tampa-based creative studio that celebrates the heart and soul of local neighborhoods through thoughtfully designed apparel and home goods. What began as a simple tribute to Ybor City has grown into a beloved brand rooted in community, heritage, and a deep sense of place.

Founded by Meghan Hogan Tauber, Hogan Made launched with the now-iconic “Smokin’ Rooster” tee - a playful nod to Ybor’s free-roaming roosters and cigar-rolling past. From that first design, the mission was clear: honor the culture and charm of Tampa’s neighborhoods through art.

Over time, the brand has expanded to showcase other vibrant areas such as Sulphur Springs, Tampa Heights, and Seminole Heights. Our collection includes soft tees, hand-printed tea towels, and unique hand made gifts - all designed with heart and crafted to last.

The Hogan Family is at the core of everything we do. Meghan’s father, Red Hogan, was a beloved presence at markets and events, known for his warmth, humor, and incredible woodworking talents, which he began exploring in his seventies. His hand-turned wood pieces often accompanied Hogan Made merchandise, adding another layer of creativity and connection to our story.

In December 2024, we lost Red. His love for family, eye for craft, and unwavering support continue to shape who we are and why we do what we do. His memory lives on in every market we attend, every tee we print, and every neighbor we connect with.

We also hold close the memory of Kathleen Hogan - Meghan’s sister - who passed away in 2013 from cancer. Her strength, creativity, and love of Tampa remain a guiding light behind our work and our purpose.

At Hogan Made, we believe in using creativity for good. Through our Purch the Merch community giving program, we’ve donated over $15,000 to local nonprofits that support kids, animals, artists, and more. We’re proud to give back to the neighborhoods that inspire us daily.

You can find us at the Ybor City Saturday Market from October through May, or anytime online. You can also find Hogan Made products in the Visit Tampa Bay Retail Store as well as Hotel Haya and the Ybor City Visitor Information Center.  Whether you’re rocking a tee, gifting a cigar pen, or keeping your cans cool with a koozie, you're helping tell the story of Tampa - and becoming a part of ours.
