The Hangout X Trip.

Throughout this project I designed a social, nightlife space in collaboration with TRIP drinks for people suffering with social anxiety in post pandemic society. My space provides opportunities for social interaction in small group setting to help individuals to feel less overwhelmed.


Big Idea: To allow consumers suffering from post-pandemic social anxiety to feel more at ease and confident when attending nightlife events.

The gap: The mismatch between the demand for and supply of nightlife events in a post-pandemic society. While some people may be eager to attend nightlife events and socialise, others experience post-pandemic social anxiety that makes them hesitant to participate.

The problem: Many individuals are feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed after the pandemic, which can make attending nightlife events difficult or uncomfortable. There is a lack of understanding and empathy for those who are experiencing post-pandemic social anxiety, as many
people do not recognise the challenges that others are facing.

The need: address the concerns of these individuals who are experiencing post-pandemic social
anxiety and ensure that nightlife events are accessible and inclusive for all. By addressing these needs, nightlife events can become more welcoming and supportive for everyone, regardless of their individual experiences and challenges.
