Whiteboarding a design solution is a required activity for a UX design interview. In this video, discover the purpose of the whiteboarding exercise, and how to approach it.
- As part of the interview,…you'll most likely get a whiteboarding exercise.…This is a very informal design exercise.…You'll be given a design problem…and you'll be asked to draw a design solution…on the whiteboard.…Typically, your reviewer will be a design teammate…and they will talk with you through the process…and ask you questions as you sketch out ideas and flows.…This process is really to test how you think about design…and how detailed your sketches can be…to get the point across.…
There's no expectation…that your whiteboarding will be perfect.…Here's how it works.…You'll be given a design challenge like…design an experience for a concert ticket system…and you will have to think out loud…while you create the design.…Here's what that looks like in practice.…For this challenge, you'll want to start…by organizing key use cases and assumptions first.…So, in this case, you'll want to define your target audience…and context of use.…For example, is this a mobile app, a web app, a kiosk?…Where will people be using it?…
