Mutual Dating
Co-Founder · Founding Designer · Director of UI/UX Design
- Co-founded and designed the #1 LDS dating app in the world, responsible for 40,000+ marriages. Served as sole designer for ten years across product, research, brand, and design direction.
- Built the Mutual Design System across three brands and six themes, with semantic tokens and live Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) contrast checks so engineers and AI agents could build accessible, on-brand UI from one source.
- Redesigned onboarding from one long form into a stepped flow with an early exit, validated through in-person testing of two competing concepts. The result: 97% completed the full profile and about 80% completed verification after it was folded into onboarding.
