An air quality tracker for creative spaces. Battery powered ESP32-based device with e-ink display.

Built for the workshops, studios and homes where people spend long hours without thinking about what they’re breathing. The device monitors CO₂, particulates, temperature and humidity — surfacing data through a calm, ambient interface.

I designed the hardware, software and architecture of the product - built the kickstarter campaign and moved our first steps in marketing and sales.

Co founded with with Yuki Machida, and we had help along the way from William Westwood, Julia Kuisma, and Patryk Grzesiak.
