Welcome back to the fourth week of our Meet the Team Series! This week we’re hearing from the newest member of our team, junior designer, Haley Leadstrom. She just graduated in May and is already off to an amazing start here at Interior Impressions. We are blessed to have her a part of our team. Everyone, meet Haley!
1. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN THE COMPANY?
I’m the junior designer for Interior Impressions.
2. WHAT ARE THREE WORDS THAT WOULD DESCRIBE YOU?
Driven, go-getter and adventurous.
3. WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?
Each day is a little different depending on different projects we have going on. I really enjoy the variety and getting to learn new things everyday at the office! I usually spend my days in client meetings, picking out materials for clients, running errands to pick up tile or accessories for a client, contacting reps and sourcing out materials.
4. WHAT ARE THREE HABITS THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU ATTRIBUTE TO YOUR SUCCESS?
1. Being hardworking.
2. Having attentiveness to detail.
3. Being a perfectionist.
4. when and why did you decide to become an interior designer?
I first found my passion for Interior Design after taking an Interior Design class in High School. Right off the bat I fell in love with design and knew I wanted to pursue it in my future. I love working with clients and being able to see their reaction when the puzzle pieces come together. I love working with clients and being able to create a comfortable and welcoming space for them to call home. Each project is different and being able to work with different styles to match the clients taste is what makes each project fun.

6. WHAT’S A GOAL YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF THAT YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT YEAR?
I have always had a passion for DIY projects but have been too busy to finally be able to get the time to start one. My goal now that I am fresh out of school is to have more time to be able to work on these projects and put them to good use in my home.
7. WHO IS SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE AND WHY?
I admire a numerous amount of people but the one I look up to the most is my mom. She has been the one who picks me up when I fall down and always reminds me that things will get better. She reminds me everyday to only focus on what matters and to keep trying when things get hard because you will only come out stronger in the end.
8. WHAT ARE YOU HAPPIEST DOING WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING?
Outside of work I really enjoy photography, spending time outdoors exploring nature and hanging out with friends and family.
9. WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’D GIVE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELf?
Don’t let anyone ever tell you your dreams are out of reach. Only YOU know your full potential.
10. HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?
I want to be remembered for being a caring and understanding person. I want to be remembered as the person that never said no to helping someone and someone that put everyone’s needs above their own.
