I studied Interface-Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, Germany and am currently working to realize InstantKarma, a concept for a mobile-application putting a twist on online-dating as we know it and my graduation-project. The projects during my studies taught me how to realize new ideas from rough early concepts through design &amp; evaluation to development. Creating new ideas and understanding the target-audience on an empathic level is the most enjoyable and positively challenging part of my work to me.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my studies i have been working for Siemens Healthcare as an Usability-Engineer over the past three years. My work on Siemens MRI&#8217;s included requirement-analyses, concept-creation according to the results of customer interviews and market research, evaluation and optimization of prototypes as well as supporting development regarding their implementation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Main Interests &amp; Skills<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ideation &amp; Concept-Creation<\/li>\n<li>Multitouch &amp; Mobile<\/li>\n<li>Gamification<\/li>\n<li>User-Research &amp; Evaluation<\/li>\n<li>Visual Design<\/li>\n<li>Usability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":63,"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":170,"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions\/170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/dirkapel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
