Can you tell me about yourself?

.
I've been working in graphic design for 7 years. My most recent project was with a
Homeschooling tutorial service for kids, where I was entrusted with redesigning the
entire brand, including a new logo, social media campaign, and merchandising designs.
Because it was a branding redesign, it required a great deal of attention to detail as well
as a delicate balance between preserving the previous design and upgrading it. And I
appreciate working in this profession because no two days are ever the same. And
When things are fresh to me, it is easy for me to immerse myself in the work

Why do you want to work for us?

When applying for jobs, I keep an eye out for places where learning and retooling are
encouraged.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

I see myself in a more senior-level position here, maybe as an art director, or in like
a mentoring or training role, something just a little more senior to what I am now
because I really want to keep growing as a designer.

Why did you choose graphic design as a profession?

I was in my second year in college when I first realized I had an interest in graphic
design. As a part of my Multi-Media subject, we had to create an infographic and logo
for a made-up company. Up until that point I had considered myself an artist and
enjoyed painting and calligraphy, but I hadn't tried applying it to a digital format. I was
intrigued by it and decided to pursue a graphic design industry.

What makes you a good graphic designer?

As a graphic designer, I always have a curious personality which makes me tackle new
things. I always challenge myself to improve my designs to strive for more. Even if I am
not really familiar with the task that was given to me, I will use my research skills to
create a unique design that will make my clients glad that they got me. Aside from that,
I’m also an open-minded person. If my clients provided some ideas that they want in
their design, I will try to think up a way to compromise and adapt my own design to their
ideas. I believe that trying to adapt to these different kinds of knowledge will make me a
good graphic designer.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I would say my strengths are I am very detail-oriented and very proactive.

So if I don't know how to do something, I'm going to get on Google first and try to figure
it out myself before bothering my coworker's Weaknesses...let me think… I think a
weakness of mine is probably sometimes I second guess some of my designs. And
that's actually really improved in the last couple of years because I've had an agent…
agency job where I've been able to get better and better, and I can see instantly whether
something's working or not So I feel like this is something that I'm improving as I go, but
I feel like it's a weakness right now.

How do you work with collaborators like copywriters developers and project managers?

I think when concepting, it's really great to have more than one person. So I would sit
down with a strategist, other graphic designers an art director, maybe a project
manager, and really bounce ideas off each other for a campaign. And after we got the
idea fleshed out, then I would take it to the computer, you know, go through my whole
creative process, and I would get with a project manager to kind of get everything
assigned. And she probably would do that on her own honestly. At that point, I would
probably work alone on my computer, and maybe get feedback from time to time from
graphic designers and art directors. And as far as a hand-off to the next person, I would
absolutely make sure to read over everything again, make sure everything's perfect. No
mistakes!!

Tell me about a time you had to work with

Well, I can't think of a time specifically with a difficult client.

But with my teacher, had a certain idea in her head about what she wanted the look
and feel of this project to be.
And she had written this out, but I just interpreted it differently than what she said.
So when I handed in my project, she talked about what she liked and what she didn't.
And I could see that I had a lot of work to do.
But after a lot of communication back and forth, I finally understood what it was she
was looking for. And we finally got to a place in the project where she was happy, and I
was very happy with the work as well.
So I think it's just a lot of communication and keeping it professional and just working
on a win-win situation for both parties.

Why do you want to work here?

Well, I really love this style of work. I checked out your Website, and I liked the type of
work that you do. I think it's a really good match for my skill set. I also have had friends
who've worked here, and they really loved the work itself and the company. And they
thought the culture was really great, too. So it was a huge draw to know that they liked it
here. I can see that this is a place where I could really grow as a designer. I feel like
creativity is valued here, and that's something that's really important to me.

What company or brand is your dream client?

like Old Spice. They allow their creative team to do really creative things while still being
like really clever and playful. And I think it'd be cool to work with a client that really
understands the creative process, and would allow us to just come up with ideas and
see where they go. Yeah, I think Old Spice.

What would you do if a client wanted 15 revisions?

Well, I think that with some clients, you're just going to get that.
Some clients are just a little more difficult. And I think the trick is to keep
communication open. So, after a couple of revisions, if the client is still not happy,
maybe I would revisit the creative brief and talk to the client about that and how we can
make changes. And of course, I would keep it very professional.

At the end of the day, the client is the one paying me, so I'd want them to be happy.
And I would be open to however many revisions they needed, but I would want to keep
educating them and telling them why I'm doing what I'm doing.
And see if that could help them, you know, bring us together in a way.
So yeah, I think communication is what is the most important when you're having those
revision issues.
I've been doing creative design since 2017, I created and have been to different
branding projects encountering various problems and solving them. When I saw your
job posting and conducted little research about your company I found out that your
mission is to help small businesses or to join global teams. And as a designer, I've seen
a lot of small business owner who is struggling to build their businesses, and I want to
be part of a company who's willing to help those people help them build and help them
grow and I belived that we share the same mission.
