Here are five pieces of advice that will help you crush your next whiteboard design challenge.
🧵👇
Advice #1: Be clear on the problem you're trying to solve.
Before sketching out your ideas, make sure you understand the problem by asking questions.
You will be evaluated on how well you understand the problem.
It took me a while to realise this.
Ask questions, a lot.

Advice #2: Make sure you generate multiple ideas.
Interviewers want to see how quickly you can generate ideas.
They want to see how you decide to choose 1 out of the multiple ideas you generated.
Don't get married to one single idea, be flexible.

Advice #3: Show a bit of your interaction design skill.
How do you show your interaction design skills in this type of scenario?
A few things that helped me in my last interviews:
• Speak about it, since you can show it.
• Highlight patterns.
• Document the expected outcomes

Advice #4: Collaborate, from the get-go.
A quick story:
During one of my several design interviews, I couldn't come with ideas because I was under pressure.
Then, I turned to the interviewer and asked for help.
He was more than willing to help, that's it.
You can't do it alone.

Advice #5: Don't forget to narrow the problem space.
You might be tempted to go overboard, after reading the brief.
Slow down and think about the following:
- Impact vs Cost
- Ideal experience
This is part of the process, the interviewer wants to see how you prioritise
