PS: When we get to know you, we'd love to hear about three of your favorite design moods. This helps us to better understand your perspective of design.

• 1st Interview: ~1 hour, mostly online with two participants from denkwerk

  In both interviews, together we’ll find out whether it’s a good fit—professionally and personally.
  
  If the feedback is positive, we’ll call you to make an offer.
  We value quick feedback loops—feel free to reach out proactively if you need an update!
