• Tell us about a project where you inherited an existing design system and were asked to deliver new UI for a complex, content-heavy feature. What constraints did the system create, how did you work within them, and where did you have to push back or propose changes?
• Describe a time when your initial UI design looked visually strong, but usability testing or accessibility review revealed significant issues. What specifically changed in your design, and how did those findings influence your final solution?
• Walk us through a situation where multiple stakeholders had different opinions about how a product should look or behave. How did you use artifacts, data, or past experience to align the team and arrive at a final UI direction that shipped?
