Your question is Defending a Navigation Design Choice. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Tell me about a time you had to defend a specific navigation model and layout structure in a design review. Walk me through how you arrived at that information architecture, how you handled pushback from stakeholders, and what happened after the decision was made.
