NOON — SDC 2022 Winning Project
Alison Oentoro
Overview 🔎
Burnout is especially common in the fast-paced, competitive environment of the tech industry. These conditions make some individuals thrive or suffer resulting from their personality traits.
Let us re-design workspaces, work styles, and working cultures that favor those personalities who thrive under burnout-inducing scenarios over those who don’t, stopping the exclusion and inequity that’s later reflected as pay differences, promotions, etc.
Problem & Solution 🤝
Employees working in the tech industry struggle to become aware of their burnout state and communicate working-style needs to their managers
The solution is to create a mindfulness dashboard and pop-up that allows employees to use their existing tools, such as wearables, calendars, and activities on their personal and work devices to predict their burnout state while communicating their needs through a hand-raising feature.
How does the dashboard work?
The Dashboard is broken down into two functions: daily check-ins and Weekly Journey. The aim is to help employees be aware of their current burnout state through the color orb and take preventative measures through data-action insights.
How does the Pop-up work?
The Pop-up located in the Mac Menu bar allows employees to have insight on their burnout state through the orb and activate the hand-raising feature to adjust task adjustments, 1:1 meetings and working styles.

Testing Results
We also conducted testing with 4 synchronous and 7 asynchronous testing sessions to see how accessible and inclusive NOON is in addressing employee's burnout frustrations.
Results 🎁
Our team won the Student Design Charette 2022, and since then, we've presented our work at Interaction 23 in Zurich for a live audience of 200+ people.
