Sample answer
“To create a new design layer for Adobe Photoshop, I would start by conducting user research to identify pain points and desired features. I would then ideate and sketch multiple concepts, collaborating with product managers to ensure alignment with business goals. Prototyping in Adobe XD, I would conduct usability testing with users to refine the design. This iterative process would ensure that the final design not only meets user needs but also adheres to Adobe's design guidelines.”
