01 · ABOUT

Toyota: Mobile Find Your Match is an experience that allows users to go window-shopping for a vehicular companion based on algorithms, from selecting certain qualities most important to them to finding the model that fits their needs.

02 · Approach

If car hunting is a full-time job, then car hunting overall is an overtime one. Ditch the laborious online marketplace search and get off Craigslist. You can quickly swipe through your new potential car, truck, or SUV options using Toyota’s “Find Your Match.”

03 · Design Challenge

I created an intuitive and fun experience for potential Toyota owners unsure which models to choose. As well as keep users engaged within the content, ultimately collect data, and find ways to provide datasets to customers optimally.

04 · Pain Points

I interviewed customers at multiple Toyota dealerships, with family, friends, and colleagues, to find out about their pain points during the car buying experience. I analyzed the interview results by creating user personas and working alongside a copywriter to develop potential questions.

The research helped us gain insight into the pain points that the users are experiencing and construct a better solution to their problems. After multiple iterations, we created a mobile application, “Find Your Match,” aiming at helping indecisive customers select a vehicle model that fits their lifestyle.
