Project brief
I was challenged to explore different opportunity areas and create a new concept for a digital platform. Additionally, I was tasked to create an app prototype and visualize the future version of the concept with a video.
Results
A concept prototype for a digital systems
platform that allows people to cultivate their emotional intelligence.
-
App: Shows the present version of the platform service.
-
Video: Visualizes the future version of Bloom.
Key personal learnings
-
Prototyping with storyboards: In addition to storyboarding the video I prototyped this concept since the beginning with low fidelity storyboards. This was extremely helpful to flush out details of the concept which I had not considered before.
-
Aesthetic exploration for video storytelling: One of my favorite project of this process was to find the right aesthetic choice to visualize the concept. I explored different aesthetics and materials to create the video assets.
Opportunity space
Concept proposal
Bloom is a digital platform that provides a safe and engaging space to cultivate emotional intelligence. The app offers a highly curated library of content related to emotional intelligence, customizable learning plans and a journal to capture reflections. Additionally, it offers personalized guidance powered with AI to acquire tools to live more fulfilling lives.

Somos proceso-prototipamos para dar luz y vida a semi- ideas
Para darle salida a lo que quiere tomar o cambiar de forma. Mi espacio de expresion y experimentacion. ​
Este espacio es para experimentar, explorar, darle forma salida, oxigenar creencias. Sacar lo que se marina dentro. Un espacio seguro para ser valiente. Valiente en los pensamientos, en lo que cuesitonamos, en como percibo el mundo. Lo que me quita el sueno. De ideas y enredos. De esperanzas y desilusiones. De historias repetidas que merecen ser cuestionadas, desmanteladas y repintadas.
​
Mi intencion es crear para mi y a quien le sienta bien un espacio tangible para darle salida a las ideas. Poderlas ver, shed light transmuta y transformar. A veces para regenerarlas a veces para explorarlas en su siguiente fase. Con placer y valentia. Para mirarme a mi misma.
