You have just spent an hour being interrogated on everything from your design approach and defending design decisions to explaining the short stints on your resume. You’ve had to explain what you consider “innovative design” to be and critique the company’s existing products with little to no context. You’ve been asked to detail why they should hire you and been judged on “culture fit” at every turn.

Charity Times Crushing the product design whiteboard challenge | by Dan Shilov Setting the context by understanding problems in-depth The first step to any design solution is to understand the problem. Just like in your portfolio project summary slide you want to summarize the context: What is the prompt, what are you trying to solve for?What are the business objectives?What are the user objectives? At this stage, you may treat your interviews as stakeholders. When you wrap up: summarize key context points, tell your interviewers what you’re going to do next and ask if there’s anything unaddressed that they’d like to see.
