End to End Design Process Questions

Covers owning and executing a complete design effort from an initial brief through launch and iteration. Candidates should demonstrate problem definition from ambiguous requirements, scoping, and prioritization; planning and conducting or synthesizing user research; identifying user pain points, needs, personas, and journeys; generating multiple solution directions and ideation methods; creating wireframes, user flows, and information architecture; building prototypes at appropriate fidelity; running usability testing or other feedback sessions and synthesizing findings; iterating on designs based on evidence; collaborating with product management and engineering on implementation details and tradeoffs; preparing handoff documentation and design specifications; considering accessibility, performance, and maintainability; and defining success metrics and measuring post launch outcomes. Emphasize how each phase informs the next and how decisions were justified given constraints, stakeholders, and technical considerations.
