eHarmony Dynamic Profile

PROJECT DETAILS

I led the visual direction for this new product feature during my time at eHarmony. The idea was to create a dynamic match profile using data from the user's social media accounts to improve the user experience by eliminating empty profiles.

THE PROBLEM

• Empty profiles lead to low engagement and frequent complaints from users who feel their matches are low quality or fake because their profiles are empty
• Stale profiles: People who do fill out their profiles are unlikely to come back and update it
• RQ is still too long: After a user completes 150 questions, only 25% of their profile is completed
• High mobile usage: RQ and profile are hard to fill out on a mobile device

THE SOLUTION

Using the following data sources, the user's profile would be automatically generated and therefore serve the user better.

1. eHarmony Data (Book of You, Dimensions of Compatibility)
2. Public Data (Google Maps, Yelp, Zodiac)
3. Permission Data (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Spotify)

THE BENEFITS

• Live Data – The profile is completely filled out for the user. It’s always changing so there will be no empty or stale profiles.
• Living, breathing page – exists without user interaction
• Potential to get users back – matches will be interested in their full, dynamic profile and communicate more
