It was pretty chill and nice. I didn’t make it but it was a good interview experience. It was struggling to find the location, you should go at least 30 mins earlier than your interview time.

Behavioral Presentation

We talked via email first, and then I went in for an in-person interview. I met a designer there who gave me a tour and then I interviewed with her and the Art Director. I never got a response after sending follow-up emails about my application status. This was disappointing from a company I respect.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a short chat and portfolio review. Since I was a freelancer, the process wasn't as rigorous as it might be for a full-time role, which can sometimes go on for months. The interview itself was okay, although there's usually a bit of a wait for the interviewer, which is pretty standard in fashion. Everyone was quite friendly, though!
