Virgin Islands Interactive Map
A trip to St. John inspired me to turn travel photos into something more immersive that the photo gallery I typicall share. Because the island is compact and easy to explore, I designed an interactive map that shows where each moment took place, letting users discover beaches, trails, and towns the way I did—through place and proximity rather than a timeline.
Project Highlights
- Blended photography and interactive design to create an engaging, exploratory experience for friends and family.
- Built an intuitive zoom-in/zoom-out navigation system for exploring St. John at multiple levels of detail.
- Integrated photos and video into a dynamic slideshow, including interactive panoramic-style imagery.
- Designed a structured data model to manage 100+ images and captions, with smart loading techniques to optimize performance and bandwidth.
- Interactive Design
- Interactive maps
- Interactive storytelling

Map of St. John
This is the island of St. John. Below the map is a list of all the places I explored on the island. I designed a system that allows one to explore the island and the places I visited in a number of ways.
