Portfolio Presentation and Impact Questions

This topic assesses a candidate's ability to select, present, and defend their strongest design work at a senior level. Interviewers expect a deep dive into two to three representative projects that together show breadth and depth: varied problem types, user contexts, and levels of complexity. For each project, be prepared to explain the problem context and goals, research and discovery methods used, your design approach and rationale, how you evaluated trade offs and handled complexity, decisions about scope and prioritization, collaboration with cross functional partners, handoff and implementation details, measurable outcomes and impact, and the lessons learned. Candidates should demonstrate strategic thinking, influence and leadership, design craft, ability to drive outcomes, and clear storytelling using artifacts and artifacts annotations. Emphasize the why behind decisions, constraints you faced, the degree of your ownership, and how the work scaled or informed broader product direction.
