The goal is to show that you value feedback and client input. You should demonstrate that feedback and revision is a natural part of the creative process. This is an opportunity to showcase your professionalism as a designer.

In asking this question, the interviewer is indicating that he/she has encountered designers in the past who struggle with feedback and/or revisions from clients. Often creatives get very close to their work and take revisions personally. Taking feedback personally isn't professional. Revisions almost always result in a better deliverable.

I am very open to feedback and want to make sure I'm delivering what my client needs. In the beginning of my career, I took client revisions personally. But, over time, I've grown to understand the importance of feedback on my design work. The reality is that design is an iterative process. It should evolve over the course of revisions into a stronger design.
