I have a PM interview coming up and the interviewer is a Product Designer. I’ve never interviewed with a Designer before, so I’m looking for guidance on what kind of things could be asked and suggestions on what/how to prepare. I assume they want to understand how I partner with design team, how I make/help make decisions, but this is high level. Can anyone share more specifics?

Did u mean your interviewer is a Product Designer ? The post says interviewee. Can you clarify, please ? Should have been a typo

Yes, my interviewer is a Product Designer. Thanks, I corrected it.

Might also be around UCD & UX - how do you learn about your customers, how do you factor their needs into your decision making, do you understand user research needs and practices, where does design come into your usual workflow of product development, etc. Especially if this is for an early stage product team

This is helpful, thank you!

Currently, there is nothing strategic for me to work on as i don’t have the trust from my manager to own anything
