Most designers have received negative client feedback at some point. Regardless of how talented or professional you are, not everyone will 100% appreciate your work or approach. The interviewer wants to see that you can bounce back professionally from a negative client review. If the criticism was warranted, discuss what you learned from the experience and the feedback you received. Overall, the interviewer wants to know how you react in the face of criticism.

"I once received feedback that I am not as 'warm' as I could be in project meetings. That feedback came as a surprise to me but, I took it to heart, regardless. I worked on implementing more casual conversation in my client interactions and remember to keep a softer look on my face when I am concentrating. I have not heard this feedback since."
