EPISODE 29 January 24, 2025

VP of Design at Launch Scout, Haley Moore

In this episode, the Team chats with Haley Moore, VP of Design, about her career path from designer to manager and how she came to terms with embracing her natural ability to lead projects and being comfortable managing a team of very skilled designers. She discusses taking leaps in her career in order to not lean away from her natural skillsets, even if they are hard to recognize, and being ok with the concept of not being the best at something.

Haley also discusses the traits and qualites she looks for when hiring a new designer, including how to share a bit of yourself with your interviewers. Dan has splinters, Kristen discusses Bigfoot (again), and Haley unwinds with snacks on the floor to deal with burnout.
