Why is this role open?
One of our amazing designers of 4+ years, Taylor, is preparing to move out of state in the coming months so she’s playing a role in helping select her successor! Our other amazing designer, Hleeda, has a successful online business of her own, and she’s going down to part-time with Volume One so she can keep working on growing her own business too, which is awesome. So we’re actually growing the team from two people, to two-and-a-half people!
