How to ace your whiteboard challenge, in under 10 minutes (2026)

Learn my system for passing UX and product design interviews. This is a new method I've developed and I'm sharing for the first time. On a personal note, I was astonished how virtually every designer who came up to me at Figma's first design conference and told me they saw my whiteboard challenges videos, how they helped them pass their interviews at various dream tech companies. It was surreal to meet viewers in real life. Thanks to those conversations, I was inspired to make another whiteboard tutorial :)
