Ease was a Start-up concept design that won 3rd place at SCAD StartUp 2020 week-long design sprint. I had the opportunity to work in this week-long UX design project with my team VOX, formed by Alicia Silhavy, Alejandra Rodriguez, Kate Lupica, and Katie Rowell, which we also created for this competition.

Ease assists you in developing and improving your skills in public speaking. Ease collects and evaluates your biometric data in addition to your use of filler words, tone, pace, and clarity to give you an understanding of how to improve your public speaking skills before you present. If practicing on your own is not enough, Ease connects you with communication coaches in your area.

The collection of biometric data allows users to visualize their unique sound waves and gesture patterns while practicing and performing presentations.

For this compositing project I did, I used photography that I've taken recently and composited them with naturalistic elements to create this humorous scenes of animals on unexpected places, I did one of these pictures on a collaboration with my friend and colleague Camila Odio, who provided me the origami dinosaur for one of my pieces to photograph it and later on composite it with the penguin.
