Knock Knock
Connecting people to have unique interactions.
Knock Knock is to bring together people for one-on-one activities. We want people to make friends or build a long term relationship, but we also see the value in 1000 people having unique interactions with 1000 others
The Challenge
The Goal
Building a friendship or romantic relationship in modern society can be very hard.
Most relationships are based on a linear progression and develop through shared time and experience between people, this cultivation of time and experience becomes more difficult as people grow older and get more focused on their careers.
Most online relationships are based on images. These images often portray our best selves or how we see ourselves and how we want the world to see us-an entirely selfish position. This is a digital mating ritual, one as old as face paint, fire and tribes.

I conducted 1-1 interviews with four people, to better understand how people think about connecting to new people online, and how they interact with other similar products to better define and improve our experience.
