UX/UI design challenge that got me a job

- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2024
- If you've been through a design interview before, you know the pain of design challenges. You never know what to expect, so it's always hard to prepare for them. You guys may know I recently landed a new job as a Product Designer, so I thought I'd share the design challenge I did for the interview that helped me get my current position.

Following this set up landed me my gig as well. The proof is in the pudding. 👏
THANK YOU this is exactly what I was looking for! Amazing work and congrats on the new job! 👏🏼
Thank you! Glad to hear it was helpful 🙂
A couple of takeaways I have drawn from this video that might help you stand out during your job searching:
1. It is important in the first instance to think through the whole process in order to understand what the scope of the solution is going to be so we don't spend more time than needed or we run out of time to conclude the challenge.
2. It is noticeable that during the discovery phase she put on her researcher's hat and that was her main focus. It is important for a moment to think only about understanding the problem in depth. Ask yourself, how do I understand this problem, what resources do I need to soak up the issue? While it is vital in the design process to have a strategic vision to consider the different forces and tendencies that influence the solution, it is equally important to be able to focus, even for a moment, just on the user; to look in detail to get information like the one you proposed: why is this problem happening to this person?, what would be the positive sides of improving this situation?, what is the user not seeing that influences their problem?, what problems do people face in tracking their situation?, what tools do they use today? What i'm trying to say if focus real deep in the user and the particular problem, rather than thinking in the common design proccess that we learn at college.
3. Going back to the issue of being strategic, you have to consider the whole context, which means thinking about integrations with other apps, the permissions that this app is going to ask the user for and also the empty states; what happens when I haven't added content yet or I have already consumed what I had in my profile?, how do I communicate and convince the user to continue using the app? I haven't seen this kind of approach much in design challenge videos and it's appreciated that she showed it.
That's what I take away from the video, thank you very much for the information, Linda.
This is such a simple yet effective presentation! Thank you so much
Thank you for breaking down your design thinking process. Now, I have a better understanding.
Thank you for sharing! My first interview for a volunteer position was so chaotic and this was a quick and easy breakdown of how to even present a case study and what to expect from a design challenge.
Thanks a lot Linda, this is exactly what I was looking for as well! Straight to-the-point.
Perfectly explained. Exactly what I was looking for.
Linda,
your overview of the project was so clear! You divided every step and showed it in a way that was really easy to understand. It shows your experience and knowledge of the topic!
Thank you!
Glad to hear it was helpful!
I am new to this channel and I am happy to see this video because it helped me to complete my design challenge so thank you so much 🥰❤
Amazing Case Study Thank you Linda and congrats on the job
Congrats! It's awesome seeing you progress! Have been following you for a minute, and I am super excited for you. Keep doing amazing things and your looking great too! 👏GLOW👏ING
thank you Janice! I really appreciate the kind words 😊
@@LindaAhn 🤗
Thanks for sharing this with us ! Really helpful.
thank you for this video! so helpful for a beginner who wants to learn about ui/ux design
5 hours to do research, sketches, low fi, then hifi? plus it looks good... How tell me!!! gj btw :D
Thank you for sharing this!
This is fantastic. Thankyou!
This is really helpful, thanks for sharing
thank you
Hey, the graphics and illustrations you used on your app look amazing! May i know where you picked them from?

Hey Linda! Loveeee your stuff and how real you are! I have a Q about the time frame - Was the 5 hours stated in the brief and did you have to prove it was only 5 hours? It just seems like a lot of work you've done from initial thoughts, considering the right copywriting in app (unless its your strength) and setting up a clean presentation at the end. And I may have missed it in other videos but what level was the product designer role, and did it maybe influence the time set for the challenge? Thanks :)!
Thank you! Because of how much work I put into it they asked me at the end how long it actually took and I just told them - which was around 10 hours.
I was applying for a junior role but ended up getting an intermediate role instead.
Thank you!
I like to focus on research. I like what you did for your secondary research. Did you also directly survey people in Reddit?
Would it be a good idea to also talk through my thinking about primary research and outline the questions I would ask users if I had time to interview them ? (Then of course there wouldn’t be any time to conduct it) or would it be best not to mention that ?
I would say, if you didn’t do it then it’s not worth mentioning. Unless they ask you at the end what you would have done if you had time than having an answer ready would be good!
Hi, Great work. One thing i wanted to know that can we reduce the no of on-boarding screen. I am thinking that do we really need these no of steps?
Yes, same question here. It says suggest time 5 hours. But something tells me the full work took like 2-3 days ;)
haha yeah I definitely spent more than 5 hours. Maybe close to 10!
For 5 hours I think I still doing the research phase 😅
Thank you, this is so helpful! Can I ask what font you use? I really like the look
I believe it’s DM Sans!
Looking exactly for this topic and did you able to finish it in the 5 hr time frame?
Where do you get the sketch book from?
Nice video thanks! mind what the font that u used is in your portfolio? ✨
DM sans!
Hey, Nicely done! I have a question - If you would have been given more time, lets say 3 days, what would you have done differently?
I think I would have put a bit more time into the visual design. Just to showcase those skills a bit more
Thanks for sharing
Did they ask not to do competitor research? Seems it could have been cool to add a couple bits of competitor / visual research to show others on the market? Just wondering :-)
No they did not. I think it was more around time constraints and also it seemed like they were more interested in my visual skills
Thanks for the great video Linda, I’ve just checked your website and couldn’t see this case study there is it possible to find it somewhere online like Behance, Dribbble etc?
Since this was for an interview, I didn’t put it on my portfolio!
@@LindaAhnWow ok, no need to get mad! 😜 Ah I see, thanks again for great content!
loved this! Where did you make/get the graphics/illustrations?
undraw.co/illustrations
This is brilliant! How long did this take you?
they said to only spend 5 hours but I spent probably double that haha.
Hi, great video! Thanks! Did you build the presentation in Figma?
Thank you. Yes I did!
Hey I am currently in my last year of my graphic design uni degree, I was wondering if I am able to venture into UX/UI still ?
Of course you can
that was great! but the question came to my mind is that: Did you really finish it in 5 hours?
haha nope. I spent probably around 10 hours instead
where did you find the prompt for the challenge?
It was given to me for the interview.
Idea for a new video, how the heck did you manage to do all of this in under 5 hours???
Thank you for sharing, where did you get the prompt from? Also, I feel quite difficult on UI as I have a bad taste of colours...
I did this design challenge for a job interview
Can you work remotely as a UX/UI designer???
Yes!
New in
how did you finish this within 5hours?
I didn’t! It took around 10 hours instead
@@LindaAhn thank you for the response!
This is impossible to finish in 5 hours!
I actually spent around 10 hours on it! 5 would have been impossible lol.
@@LindaAhn I think you did a great job, but these challenges ask too much of designers. You need to invest so much of your time, and you might not even get the job. I am in 3 interviews and have to do 3 challenges... I'd rather they only give me 1h to do it and assess the result based on the circumstances.
i almost fall asleep
this is amazing! you make it look so easy 🥲 thank u for this vid❤️super helpful
