HCI/HCD Research and Human Cognitive Ability

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: 4.0, Penn State Harrisburg, language: English, abstract: Skitch is a visual communication application. It enables the user to capture, edit and share screenshots. Skitch uses the user's previous knowledge, analogy as well as user's long term memory because Skitch's user interface is very similar to the user interfaces of Paint, one of Mircosoft's first established applications, and Photoshop, one of the most used applications from today. The majority of users grow up with Microsoft applications. Furthermore, the application is taking advantage of the structure and organization as Paint had it way back then and Photoshop has it today. The tools are shown as a left sidebar menu.

I am a soon-to-be freshly minted Techpreneurship graduate from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. In combining a rigorous academic experience with professional roles in the public and private sector, I have exemplified my keen ability to troubleshoot difficult problems, collaborate on teams, and develop strong relationships with a wide array of audiences. Recognized for improving operational optimization, I have a verifiable history of professional success as both an intern, student, and worker. Professional focal points include business development, entrepreneurship, IT systems, team leadership, process improvements, cross-functional team collaboration, and project management. Currently, I am an Operations & Project Management Intern with 1 Atelier. My professional experiences have been primarily in the fashion industry, however, I am seeking new opportunities within the technology sector and will soon have a graduate degree that supports that career path. Having completed courses such as Business Strategy and Management, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Economics of Scale, I have gained valuable insights into the intersection of technology and business. I am a self-starter with a pioneering spirit who is resourceful and able to take ownership of tasks quickly and reliably. I bring management experience and a willingness to take on added responsibility to meet tight deadlines. Colleagues and professors describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, enthusiastic team player with a strong work ethic and diligent problem-solving skills.
