IQAir

Visualising the Invisible

As Lead Product Designer, I initiated and structured IQAir's visual ecosystem from the ground up: creating the design system, crafting web and mobile interfaces, and developing clear and engaging data visualisations. The goal was to transform complex scientific data on air pollution into an intuitive and accessible user experience.

THE CHALLENGE

Making intricate information comprehensible without compromising scientific accuracy. Through clear hierarchy, fluid visual storytelling, and a rigorous graphic language, the platform has become a global reference. 

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

  • User base grew from a few hundred to over 6 million monthly users.

  • App rated 4.7/5, praised for its readability, relevance, and ease of use, and featured multiple times on App Stores. 

  • The air quality ranking I designed is regularly cited by major international media such as BBC, The Guardian, CNN, and Le Monde.

  • Recognised as a reference platform by both professionals and the general public for environmental health decision-making.

  • Developed the air quality map integrated into the United Nations Environment Programme website.

  • Great air quality index (AQI) app. It's got a nice design, easy user interface, quick to understand and showing all important information in a digestible way. You can also keep track of your pollution exposure. The satellite map modelling pollution distribution is pretty high profile!
