“How do you balance strong visual aesthetics with business or user needs?”
Sigiloso
I answered that while I care deeply about strong visual craft, I try not to design purely for aesthetics. I explained that I usually start by understanding the brand goal, audience, and user context first, then use visual design as a way to strengthen the message and emotional impact. I also mentioned that working across branding and advertising helped me become comfortable balancing creativity with strategic objectives, and that I enjoy finding solutions that feel both visually compelling and effective from a business perspective.
