Love is a practice.

The Founder

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.
