Question 1
Porqué quieres trabajar en Ikea? Cual es tu sueño?
I interviewed for a Graphic Designer role at IKEA and had a positive, well-organized experience. HR communication was clear and timely, outlining each step of the process. The interviews included an HR screening, a portfolio review, and a discussion with the hiring manager or team.
The portfolio stage was the most detailed, focusing on my creative process, problem-solving approach, and ability to balance creativity with functionality. They were interested in brand consistency and experience designing across print, digital, and in-store materials.
Questions also covered teamwork, handling feedback, and meeting deadlines. Overall, the process felt professional, collaborative, and fair, with strong emphasis on explaining design decisions clearly.

Question 1
Examples of adapting designs based on business or production constraints
I was hired for this role. My manager who I enjoy working with is very laid-back and showed that in the interview as well, so it was easy to get along during the interview process.
I successfully completed all the steps of the interview process, including the assessments and meetings with the team. However, I was later informed that I was not selected for the position. Although the outcome wasn’t what I had hoped for, I appreciated the opportunity and found the experience valuable for my professional growth.
