Cognitive Science & Data Science

Hi! My name is Rachel Skwersky. I am a third year at UC Berkeley. I love playing the sims, going on hot girl walks, and trying out new recipes. A fun fact about me is that I hate bananas and will never eat them by itself, but I love trying out banana recipes. I prefer podcasts to listening to music (unhinged, I'm sorry) and my current favorites are Binchtopia, Seamoss Girlies, and the Daily. I love buying books and sometimes reading them. I crochet occasionally and draw sometimes, but I'm not fantastic at either. I'm from Massachusetts and I have a goldendoodle at home named Ruby. My fourth roommate is a kitten named Soup. I love to sit in cafes and get a fun beverage and my favorite weekend activity is getting a bagel and enjoying it in the sunshine at Willard Park.

• Something I learned from this article is to be a curious and active engager with apps. If you question each element of a website or app, you'll be able to better develop an eye for things to include in your own projects. I also liked the portion on intent and content as its really important to think of who will be using your product and what they will think while interacting with it
• I really enjoyed the breakdowns of each app. It was cool to see each detail appear one at a time and it really allowed me to slow down and study each element of the layout closely to see how it all fit together.
• "You develop your design eye by thinking as if you were the designer of a product."
• I enjoyed this article, so I would rate it an 8/10. I don't feel like I came across any topics that I hadn't seen before, but I found the app breakdowns interesting.
