Design Mentorship Questions

This topic focuses on mentoring designers and design oriented roles. Candidates should provide examples of mentoring junior and mid level designers through critique, portfolio reviews, design pairing, feedback strategies, and guidance on research and interaction design. Describe the specific skills you developed in mentees such as visual craft, user research, prototyping, storytelling, and stakeholder communication. Explain how you balance encouragement with raising the bar, how you scale mentorship across multiple designers, and how you influence design culture, hiring, career ladders, and promotion outcomes.
