The process began with an initial conversation with someone from the People team. It was informal and focused on my background, my interest in Aave, and how I approach design. After that, I interviewed with the VP of Marketing and the VP of Design. These conversations were also fairly casual and centered on brand direction, creative process, and how design supports growth. I was given a take home assignment to create social graphics for the brand, which became a key part of the discussion in the later interview.
