Sample answer
“At Zalando, I worked on a project to revamp our mobile app's checkout process. The situation was that users were dropping off at a high rate. I conducted user interviews and usability testing to identify pain points, then employed design thinking to iterate on solutions. After implementing a streamlined checkout with fewer steps, we saw a 30% increase in conversion rates and received positive feedback in user surveys, confirming the effectiveness of our approach.”
