Selected Work

Overview

A marketing-led research initiative exploring how neurodivergent daters can reduce the cognitive load of meeting someone new.

Approach

To keep the experience screen-free, we prototyped a hardware device from off-the-shelf materials that served up conversation prompts in real time. We used GenAI tools to rigorously test how conversations might unfold, then refined those learnings into an editorial direction programmed into the device.

Impact

The findings were published and shaped features in future product releases, creating a more inclusive dating experience.

In partnership with FOOD Arts and Technology.
