Hi folks,
Navigating whiteboarding interviews can often feel intimidating - ambiguous prompts, tight timelines, and the pressure of showcasing your process clearly.
To help tackle this, we recently hosted an insightful session with Prayag Shah, Senior Product Designer at Coinbase, who previously contributed his skills at Spotify and Uber.
In this video podcast edition, Prayag shares practical frameworks, candid advice, and his personal strategies to effectively approach whiteboarding sessions. Some key takeaways:
Why there's never "one correct answer" and how to confidently handle ambiguity.
How to structure your approach authentically, avoiding common pitfalls.
Real-world insights into what interviewers truly expect during whiteboarding rounds.
Prayag’s advice resonates deeply:
“Real design is rarely linear. It’s messy, collaborative, and about navigating constraints. Showcase how you tackle these realities, not just perfect case studies.”
This session is part of our ongoing commitment at Design Originals Club to provide designers with practical, high-value content—always free, without fluff.
