Interview questions

Questions for every interview round

Each round has an owner, a time box and questions that test the competencies above.

Round 1: Design foundations & independence
Hiring Manager · 45 min

Walk through a project where you received a defined design direction and executed it largely independently. What decisions did you make without asking, and what did you validate before finalizing?
Describe your approach to establishing visual hierarchy using typography and layout (e.g., for a banner set or landing page section). How do you ensure consistency across multiple sizes?
Share an example of a time you had to balance competing requirements (brand rules vs. campaign needs vs. space constraints). What tradeoffs did you make and why?

Round 2: Brand execution & production readiness
Design Lead · 50 min

Tell me about how you ensure brand consistency across channels (web, social, email). What checks do you perform before delivery?
Explain your process for creating production-ready exports. How do you handle correct dimensions, file naming, and delivering organized assets for handoff?
Show (talk through) a design before/after where feedback improved typography, spacing, or clarity. What specifically changed?

Round 3: Stakeholder collaboration & iteration
Product Marketing Partner · 45 min

Describe a time you collaborated with a stakeholder who had unclear or shifting requirements. How did you clarify the goal and reach an approved outcome?
Tell me about a project where you generated multiple visual options or approaches. How did you choose the final direction and measure whether it worked (even qualitatively)?
Describe how you incorporate feedback while protecting design quality. What do you do when feedback conflicts with brand guidelines or usability/readability?

Red flags to watch for

Consistently weak typography/spacing or unclear visual hierarchy in portfolio examples
Frequent rework due to incorrect sizing, export settings, or messy file handoff
Inability to execute defined tasks independently (over-reliance on clarification or repeated churn)
Evidence of inconsistent brand application across formats or channels
Trouble incorporating feedback constructively, leading to stalled approvals
