- **Design Thinking**: Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype → Test - **Double Diamond**: Discover → Define (problem) → Develop → Deliver (solution) - **User Research Methods**: Interviews → Surveys → Usability Testing → Card Sorting → Analytics - **Information Architecture**: Content Audit → Card Sorting → Site Map → Navigation → Validation - **Interaction Design**: User Flows → Wireframes → Prototypes → Usability Testing → Iteration

**Portfolio Review (60 min)**: Present 2-3 case studies, explain process and decisions **Design Challenge (60-90 min)**: Whiteboard exercise or take-home design problem **User Research Round (45 min)**: Research methods, synthesis, insight generation **Collaboration Round (45 min)**: Working with PMs and engineers, design critique **Final Round (30-45 min)**: Culture fit, design philosophy, career goals

- Showing only polished final designs without explaining process - Not demonstrating user research or validating design decisions with data - Jumping to solutions without understanding the problem deeply - Poor communication or inability to articulate design rationale - Not considering technical constraints or business goals

Revarta is the AI interview coach behind candidates who've landed UX Designer roles at Google, Amazon, Adobe, and similar companies. Five things that make the difference for this role: - **Voice practice with delivery feedback.** Tone, pacing, filler words, answer duration — the non-verbal half of the interview. Practicing out loud with honest feedback builds the muscle memory that holds when the real interview starts. - **Hiring-manager-grade feedback.** Revarta is built by a former Google, Amazon, and Adobe hiring manager who has run 1,000+ real interviews. Feedback is calibrated to what UX Designer interviewers actually assess — not the agreeable "great answer!" defaults that ChatGPT and most AI tools give you. - **Story Builder for your specific experience.** The Story Builder layer helps you mine your résumé and portfolio for the moments that map to UX Designer-specific behavioral themes. Most candidates leave half their best stories on the table — Revarta finds them. - **Behavioral signal extraction.** UX Designer interviews test defending design decisions against PM/eng pushback, balancing user needs against business constraints, and handling user research that contradicts your hypothesis. Revarta's coaching layer surfaces the question behind the question for each theme, so you understand what the interviewer is really testing. - **Cross-session progress tracking.** Track your readiness across UX Designer-relevant behavioral themes. Not "are you getting more comfortable" but "are you actually improving."
