I emailed the firm asking for any summer internship opportunities and got an email back from the principal who arranged an interview the next week. During the interview I met with the firm principals and discussed my portfolio. They also helped me gain insight into what the firm is all about.

Definitely my best interview experience, out of about 10 this year for similar positions. I didn't know the team prior to interviewing, but they were very friendly. Interview was online and went well despite some tech difficulties when sharing my portfolio. Hiring process was a bit late in the spring, with decisions sent out at end of April despite applying in Feb.
