S04E08: Maisha Moore — Open to Connections

Vancouver-native Maisha Moore has always been creative, dabbling in everything from sculpture to music. For a time, she was convinced that she’d be making music for Disney movies before finding that her passion lay elsewhere, notably in animation. After graduating from Capilano University’s 3D program, she spent a year working outside the industry before landing a job as a shader and eventually making the transition to her true calling, design. We recently spoke with Maisha about learning on the job, how thinking about the big picture is essential for working in teams, and how important networking is to career advancement.
