How do crack these questions?
I think I've failed twice in answering these correctly in my interviews
This is for a Visual designer's position
1. What was the breakpoint for design
2. Did you design the components and design system?
3. How was your handoff to developers (I've never one that)
4. Wht was the most challenging part of this project.
5. What is something you would re-design if you were to go back.
Genuine question, how many YOE do you have in visual design? I’m not seeing you up to get thrown through the wringer but these are pretty standard questions that one should know if you’re applying for visual designer roles.

Sorry I could answer them but not under best practices because I'm a graphic designer.
Just starting off as a visual designer.

These are just simple questions if you have experience designing digital products. But if you don’t have experience with breaking points, design systems/components and handing off projects to developers, you need to learn that and create a project explaining all of that because those are the basic things you will be doing.
You can volunteer to design real projects. That is the best way to learn and get experience. You can find some places to volunteer here: https://www.uxdesigninstitute.com/blog/how-volunteering-can-help-build-your-ux-portfolio/
Breaking points means that you designed your product/screens for different devices, for example for mobile, tablet and desktop.
Components/design systems are the building blocks or the reusable assets for the product/screens that you designed. For example buttons, cards, menu, footer etc.
Handing off the project to the developer can be done in different ways, but is usually a documented style guide with the main components of the project and the different states of those components for example, default, hover, active and disabled states. You will also have a developer link from Figma, Sketch or XD when you are done with the project. Those links contain most of the information a developer needs to code the designs.
There are SO MANY resources in the internet that you can just Google all of these things above.

Thanks a lot for this detailed help.
Thats true I have digital pieces but not in figma and in this manner.
I've worked for smaller clients they never had this system.
I've bookmarked the website and truly appreciate your input.
I think volunteering will really help me gain that experience to face interviews and build great projects.
