B – Round 2 (Portfolio Review or Design Exercise)

1. Take me through one of your most proudly completed projects from your portfolio.

“[Project Name] is one endeavour of which I’m proud. Within three months, I increased user engagement by 30% by redesigning the interface of a mobile app and optimising user flow.”

2. Could you describe a project where you had to strike a compromise between business and user requirements?

“I identified pain points through user research to ensure alignment in [Project Name]. After mapping these findings to business objectives, I struck a balance that led to a user-centric design that complied with the goals of the organization.”

3. How do you assess whether your design solutions are successful?

“User feedback, usability testing, and analytics are how I gauge success.” Metrics like task completion rates, user satisfaction ratings, and user engagement are useful in evaluating the effects of design modifications.”

4. How do you resolve divergent stakeholder opinions or design preferences?

“I see disagreements in feedback as a chance for dialogue. I solicit feedback from stakeholders, balance their expectations with those of users, and provide data-supported justifications for design choices.”

5. Describe your prototyping procedure and its importance to your design process.

“Ideas are validated and early feedback is gathered through prototyping. Before going to high-fidelity designs, I produce interactive prototypes that mimic user interactions and allow for iterative improvements.”
