Sample answer
“During my internship at Cotton On, I designed a series of prints for a summer collection. Initially, my designs were quite bold, but the team felt they didn’t align with the brand's target audience. I took this feedback to heart and adjusted the color palette to be softer and more pastel-oriented. The final prints were well-received, leading to a 20% increase in sales for that collection. This experience taught me the importance of flexibility and collaboration in design.”
