WellCube Public Display
Turning Environmental Data into a Workplace Wellness Experience
WellCube’s public display experience was designed to help organizations communicate the quality of their workplace environment in a way employees could immediately understand. Rather than presenting raw sensor readings, the product translated information about air quality, temperature, noise, lighting, and comfort into a calm, accessible visual experience that supported a broader culture of wellbeing.

The Challenge
Overview
HR leaders saw clean air and workplace comfort as part of the employee value proposition, but raw environmental data could easily feel technical, confusing, or even alarming. The challenge was to make that information visible without overwhelming people, while helping organizations demonstrate that employee wellbeing was being actively supported.
Understanding the Audience
User research
HR managers were focused on creating safe, attractive, and values-aligned workplaces that could support employee wellness, engagement, and retention. They needed a solution that was easy to understand, respectful of privacy, adaptable to different office environments, and simple to communicate across the organization. Research also showed that the experience needed to feel like a meaningful workplace benefit rather than another technical system employees had to learn.
From Technical Readings to Human Meaning
Solution
The central design insight was that employees did not need more data. They needed to understand what the environment meant for them. Instead of exposing technical measurements without context, the experience translated environmental conditions into a broader story about comfort, calm, focus, and workplace quality. This made the information more useful while reducing the risk of confusion or unnecessary concern.
Designing the Public Experience
I designed a public-facing display that simplified real-time indoor environmental data into clear, approachable signals. Room-level and space-level indicators communicated current conditions without demanding technical knowledge, while the overall interface connected air quality with other aspects of the workplace experience, including temperature, lighting, and noise. The visual language was intentionally calm and reassuring, helping employees understand how the space felt rather than simply showing what the sensors measured.
