Local discovery / Prototype
Yaad Vibes Map
Exploring Kingston through culture, not just coordinates
01 Context
An interactive Kingston discovery map focused on culture, local knowledge and the feel of places.
02 Problem
A location alone does not communicate the character, context or local knowledge associated with a place.
03 Idea / Thinking
Use Jamaican cultural categories and place stories to offer another way into local discovery.
04 My Role
Prototype development and experience direction for a culture-led discovery map.
05 What I Built / Did
A map with search, category filtering, place details and a place-suggestion interface. Categories include food, nightlife, history, university life, creative spaces, nature and hidden gems.
06 Output
A working experimental discovery prototype for Kingston.
07 Evidence
The visible interface provides evidence of the map, search, filters and suggestion flow. No user participation, travel outcomes or adoption figures are claimed.
08 Status
Experimental product prototype. Local discovery exploration.
09 Learning / Next question
How should community suggestions be reviewed while preserving local voice?
