Answering 'What Prototyping Tools Do You Use' Well
In an interview, you're asked: "What tools do you use for wireframing and prototyping?" A candidate answers: "I mostly use Figma — it's the industry standard and everyone on my team uses it."
- Explain why this answer, while not wrong, is weaker than it could be, based on what this question is usually really probing for.
- Rewrite the answer to the same question in a way that demonstrates the judgment the interviewer is actually looking for. You can invent a plausible short project detail to anchor it.
- Give one example of a situation where naming a different tool category (not an all-in-one design tool) would be the more defensible answer, and explain why.
