Understanding the brief, the objective, and the competitive landscape. The early phase is exploration and iterative, moving between sketching, prototyping, CAD, and physical models to test ideas quickly. Develop multiple concepts in parallel and only converge once comparison and feedback become meaningful. The goal is to let the process reveal direction rather than forcing it too early.

Treating engineering as a core part of the design process, not a downstream constraint. Begin with a strong user- and vision-led concept that intentionally challenges feasibility and cost. From there, iterate together to preserve the core intent while resolving technical realities. Strong communication and shared understanding are key to keeping the product’s “soul” intact.

Stay curious, keep experimenting, and build small personal projects outside of work. Regular practice matters more than occasional big efforts. Taking breaks is also important to maintain creative energy.

Concept strength and refinement, not just final outcomes. Evidence of process, decision-making, and collaboration. One deep dive project is often more effective than many shallow ones, especially when it shows how you think from idea to execution.

Clarity, curiosity, and a reason to keep exploring a project. A strong portfolio tells a clear story without overloading detail and creates a second layer that rewards deeper attention. The best projects make me think “Why didn’t somebody already came up with this?”

More important is showing that you can design within an existing brand DNA and system. Domain specific projects can help, but the real signal is your ability to adapt your thinking to a given design language and product context.

Strong motivation, solid software skills, and a proactive mindset. Juniors are not expected to lead, but to actively contribute without waiting to be asked. Equally important is the ability to balance confidence with openness to feedback and learning.
