Technical phone screen

The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and focused mainly on the candidate's project experience. Time was also reserved for the candidate's questions about the company.

The main reported prompt asked the candidate to describe a design project completed outside the classroom, with particular emphasis on the design process.

The candidate considered the interview challenging but not unreasonable. The report does not preserve the project details, follow-up questions, or decision interval.
