Overview
In the Philippines, millions of young people aged 8 to 18 struggled to find safe spaces to express their feelings, and existing services weren't reaching them effectively. To address this issue, Youth Space was launched by a Philippine government agency as a digital platform where young people can map their emotions, seek support, and discover local events and resources. The design challenge was considerable. The platform needed to be welcoming enough for an eight-year-old while also being trustworthy for parents and caseworkers. It had to operate as a service directory, an emotional outlet, and a community resource, all without coming across as clinical or overwhelming.
Drawing inspiration from the concept of Invisible Cities, an emotional mapping app, the visual design was intentionally friendly and playful, utilising illustrations and warm colours instead of sterile institutional imagery. The outcome was a platform that resonated with young people on visual, emotional, and digital levels. This government-backed initiative breaks away from traditional designs, showing that accessible, community centred design can truly make a difference.
