3// ============================================
4//
5// In a world of surveillance capitalism and
6// algorithmic control, we offer something
7// radical: a real person who actually looks
8// you in the eye. No data harvesting. No
9// engagement metrics. Just two humans in a
10// room, figuring it out.
11//
12// We believe love is not a transaction --
13// it's a practice. In a city of eight million,
14// finding your person isn't about casting a
15// wider net. It's about knowing exactly who
16// you are and having someone equally
17// intentional search on your behalf.
18//
19// Modern Love Club exists at the intersection
20// of art and matchmaking. We don't use
21// algorithms. We use intuition, honed over
22// 18,000 interviews and a decade of watching
23// people fall in love.
24//
25// Every match we make is a creative act.

AMY VAN DORAN

Founder & Head Matchmaker | Est. 2008

// Amy Van Doran founded Modern Love Club in 2008 after recognizing that New York's most interesting, accomplished people were paradoxically the worst at finding love. A former music video director with a background in visual art, Amy brings an artist's eye to the science of compatibility.

// Her approach is radically personal. She has interviewed over 18,000 singles, building a mental database that no algorithm can replicate. She notices the micro-expressions, the offhand comments, the energy shifts that reveal what someone truly needs in a partner.

// The East Village studio — affectionately known as the "Love Museum" — doubles as a curated gallery space where art, vulnerability, and human connection intersect. It's a place where clients shed their armor and get honest about what they want.
