Stephanie Patterson

Stephanie Patterson has earned a unique reputation as Fox Product’s “oboe meme queen,” combining her love for the instrument with social media savvy and humor. Starting oboe at the age of seven, Stephanie grew into a skilled performer and an advocate for the often-overlooked instrument. In 2014, she joined Fox Products in South Whitley, Indiana, play-testing and inspecting oboes, and then her duties expanded to assembly of the instruments. She soon was able to use her creativity and advertising skills to manage all of Fox's marketing and artist relations. Using memes and graphics, Stephanie engages customers by sharing her passion in fun and unexpected ways. In 2024, she participated in the Women of NAMM (WoN) leadership summit, a yearly event designed to foster leadership development and expand participants’ professional networks.
