Zuma - Exclusive Matchmaking App

Innovative UI/UX Design Using Neo-Brutalism

• Developed Zuma's user interface and user experience based on the neobrutalist design philosophy, creating a distinct and visually striking app. This unique design choice sets Zuma apart in the crowded dating app marketplace, offering users a fresh and engaging experience.
• Focused on simplicity and functionality, the neobrutalist design enhances user interaction, making the app both aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate.

Unique Matchmaking Approach

• Implemented a sophisticated backend algorithm for daily 1:1 matchmaking. Unlike traditional swipe-based apps, Zuma offers one carefully curated match per day to each user, focusing on quality over quantity.
• This approach to matchmaking addresses common issues with conventional dating apps, such as endless swiping and superficial connections, and promotes more meaningful interactions.

Exclusive Members-Only Community

• Developed a system for a vetted community of users, including successful young professionals from various creative industries. This exclusivity ensures a sophisticated and genuine dating atmosphere.
• The app includes a rigorous application process for membership, maintaining high standards and a refined user base.

Efficient and Meaningful User Engagement

• Created a limited daily chatting window, allowing users to engage with their match until midnight each day. This feature encourages in-depth conversations and helps users focus on building genuine connections.
• Integrated a subscription model for full access to the community, emphasizing the app's premium and exclusive nature.
