CASE STUDY: The 10x Velocity Leap: Pioneering AI Vibecoding for Interactive Maps ROLE: Product Content Lead (UX Research & Interaction Design) THE CHALLENGE: Leverage AI to improve the Product Design process The project began with a strategic realization: our traditional pipeline for creating map-based content was a significant bottleneck, requiring manual coordination between GIS analysts, designers and front-end developers. Identified a critical market gap as the demand for hyper-local content scaled, our manual workflows could not keep pace. We saw an opportunity to leverage "vibecoding" to translate natural language descriptions into functional code to democratize and accelerate map content creation. USER RESEARCH: Validating the "Why" To ensure the product solved real-world problems, We focused our research on internal operational efficiency: - Internal Team Leadership: Partnered with Department Leads to validate the "self-serve" content model. Together, we audited current production timelines to determine if an AI-driven workflow could empower non-technical staff to generate customer-ready, high-relevance content without the constant intervention of dedicated designers or data analysts. THE DESIGN PROCESS: Iteration & Technical Logic - Prototyping in Figma: Designed a "natural language to map" interface, mocking up a workspace where users could input descriptive prompts (vibecoding) and see real-time UI/UX updates to the interactive map layers. - Stakeholder Alignment: Presented the AI-driven workflow to the engineering leadership, demonstrating how a "vibecode" prompt could generate complex Mapbox or ESRI configurations that previously took hours to write by hand. - Order Flow Design: Designed a streamlined internal "creation studio" flow, where using mock data a single prompt would trigger the AI to select the relevant foot traffic datasets and apply the corresponding visual styling automatically. THE OUTCOME: A Platform Benchmark By pioneering vibecoding, successfully accelerated the map content generation workflow by a factor of 10. By removing the dependency on designers and analysts for routine content tasks, the team was able to produce a record volume of interactive content, drastically reducing time-to-market and setting a new industry standard for AI-integrated spatial design.

ROLE: Product Content Lead (UX Research & Interaction Design)

THE CHALLENGE: Leverage AI to improve the Product Design process

The project began with a strategic realization: our traditional pipeline for creating map-based content was a significant bottleneck, requiring manual coordination between GIS analysts, designers and front-end developers. Identified a critical market gap as the demand for hyper-local content scaled, our manual workflows could not keep pace. We saw an opportunity to leverage "vibecoding" to translate natural language descriptions into functional code to democratize and accelerate map content creation.

USER RESEARCH: Validating the "Why"

To ensure the product solved real-world problems, We focused our research on internal operational efficiency:

- Internal Team Leadership: Partnered with Department Leads to validate the "self-serve" content model. Together, we audited current production timelines to determine if an AI-driven workflow could empower non-technical staff to generate customer-ready, high-relevance content without the constant intervention of dedicated designers or data analysts.

THE DESIGN PROCESS: Iteration & Technical Logic

- Prototyping in Figma: Designed a "natural language to map" interface, mocking up a workspace where users could input descriptive prompts (vibecoding) and see real-time UI/UX updates to the interactive map layers.

- Stakeholder Alignment: Presented the AI-driven workflow to the engineering leadership, demonstrating how a "vibecode" prompt could generate complex Mapbox or ESRI configurations that previously took hours to write by hand.

- Order Flow Design: Designed a streamlined internal "creation studio" flow, where using mock data a single prompt would trigger the AI to select the relevant foot traffic datasets and apply the corresponding visual styling automatically.
