Sample answer
“In my internship at a local startup, I was tasked with creating a dashboard for a project management tool from scratch. I used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, along with Figma for the design phase. After conducting user interviews, I created wireframes and iterated based on feedback. The project faced challenges around responsive design, which I addressed by implementing a mobile-first approach. Ultimately, the dashboard received positive feedback for its usability and aesthetic appeal.”
