Zenith Air Pollution System (Design Research + UI/UX Design + Industrial Design)

For a personal project I decided to study air pollution in Utah Valley, its effects, and possible ways to raise awareness of the issues arising from it. I developed an app, an air pollution sign with a sensor in it, and an animation on being aware of Utah Air.


Above is the animation I created to raise awareness of the dangers of Utah Air. Below is the Zenith App, used to determine pollution levels, in action.

Below is an animation of the air pollution sensor sign that I designed, which displays the air pollution in the local area. Images down further show the sign actually made.


Design Research

For this project I started with research on the topic. I relied heavily on secondary research, turning to articles, studies, surveys, and projects already completed on the issue of air polluton and air pollution in Utah Valley. I kept a large visual board of my research links and notes on the specific articles, as well as patterns and connections.


UI/UX Design

Based on the research I conducted I decided to develop an app that would alert the user of pollution levels in the area, send challenges to reduce personal pollution, and help understand which groups were at risk that day.



This included numerous explorations and drafts, some by hand, and then on the computer using the adobe suite and figma.











Industrial Design

I also decided to design a road sign that connected to the app, and displayed a readout of the pollution in that area using an air pollution sensor. I began ideating using hand-sketches early on:
