Structure IQ
From demo to production
A satellite-data SaaS for monitoring the structural integrity of bridges, buildings, and critical infrastructure.
01 — The challenge
A working demo, but not a product
StructureIQ had a working demo running on hardcoded data — built to prove a concept visually, not to connect to real infrastructure. Two problems needed solving at once: wiring the interface to their actual database, and redesigning the experience entirely. None of the data was organized in a way that let a specialist act on it quickly. The task was to define the information hierarchy and rebuild around three very different types of users.
02 — The solution
Three interfaces, one coherent product
Working directly with the StructureIQ team, I mapped what each user needed to see and act on, established the information hierarchy, and got sign-off before development began — then designed and tested the platform around a global sensor-alert system.
Map & align
Define the hierarchy and user flows for admin, client, and engineer; get client sign-off.
Design 3 interfaces
Organize dense technical data into fast, unambiguous surfaces per user type.
Global alerts
Surface structural anomalies anywhere in the app the moment they trigger.
