Workshop
Digital Wellbeing Experiments
Jayeon Kim
Share ideas and create quick design prototypes that help people find a better balance with
technology
This experimental hands-on workshop is designed by multidisciplinary teams at Google to help our users as well as ourselves find a better balance and healthier relationship with devices and technology. This workshop will create space for you to generate ideas to answer this challenge. We'll use Google Design Sprint methodology throughout the workshop.
Participants of this workshop are encouraged to submit the final experiments at g.co/digitalwellbeingexperiments to inspire and inform others around the world.
Workshop tickets are sold separately from other conference events.

About the speaker
Jayeon Kim
I'm a Design Partnership Lead at Google. Based on my multidisciplinary design practices in Seoul and Silicon Valley for over the past decade, now I manage design partnerships and promote UX best practices to Google’s key business partners. I also connect with designers and developers globally by teaching public workshops and classes. Concurrently, I'm a mindfulness instructor, a psychotherapist, and a yoga teacher (RTY-500).
These roles helped me see the importance of finding a healthy balance with technology very clearly. I’ve become increasingly aware of how integral the balance is for the wellbeing of businesses as well as individuals.
