I had a Zoom call with HR first, then with the Director of Tech Design where I presented my portfolio. The interview was pretty straightforward. It would have been helpful if HR had told me to have my portfolio ready beforehand.

The interviewer was nice and polite on the phone. She asked some general questions and really cared how much you learned about the company and why you want to intern with the company.
