Acquired by Tinder in 2016, Humin was a platform designed to revolutionize the way people managed their contacts. As the first Product Design hire, I collaborated with the founders and the engineering team to bring their concept to life, from idea to iOS beta release.
Humin utilized an AI social mapping technology layer to provide personalized suggestions for connections and enable users to search for people based on their natural thought process. The app offered a contextual view of users’ relationships with their contacts, including personal details and organization based on the relationships, instead of alphabetical order. For example, when viewing a contact, users would see a list of mutual friends. We also invented several new innovative user experience gestures, such as swiping contact cards to initiate calls and texts.
