Sample answer
“In my internship at a local design studio, I worked on a branding project for a small business. Initially, my color choices were too vibrant, and the client felt it didn't match their identity. I listened to their concerns, researched their market, and adjusted my palette to more muted tones. The final design was well-received, and the client reported that their customer engagement increased by 30%. This taught me the importance of client collaboration and adaptability.”
