Love Together

Who can we become with?

What belongs here

Love Together is for the forms of connection that help people find one another: matchmaking, friendship, belonging, community, and social infrastructure.

Part of this room will eventually become Bae Area: an experiment in matchmaking and helping people connect beyond apps and algorithms.

Not because technology is bad, but because people are more than profiles, filters, and optimized compatibility.

Some of the most important relationships in our lives happen through proximity, shared practice, mutual care, and being witnessed over time. I’m interested in creating more opportunities for those conditions.

And I’m interested in expanding what counts as connection.

Love is not only who we partner with. It also includes friendship, chosen family, neighbors, mentors, communities, the people we build with, and the people who help us remember ourselves.

What kinds of spaces help people become easier to find?

How do we create more opportunities for friendship, romance, belonging, and unexpected connection?

What becomes possible when community itself becomes part of how people meet?

This room is for experiments in relational life.
