Sample answer
“In my internship at a local design agency, I worked on a brochure layout for a new client. I received feedback from the marketing team, the client, and my supervisor. I organized a feedback session to clarify their priorities and incorporated their suggestions into my design. As a result, the final brochure not only met the stakeholders' expectations but also increased the client's customer inquiries by 30%. This experience taught me the value of collaboration in design.”
