FriendZone set out to become the first truly social network for adults, one designed around real-life friendships, not follower counts. The client’s goal was to create a platform where people could build meaningful, safe, and interest-based connections through shared activities and vetted venues.

The challenge: combat adult loneliness, modern disconnection, and the lack of genuine spaces for new friendships, especially post-30.

Considering that we started from scratch for this project, our main goals were:

Defining the product architecture and tag system, identified as Topics, Interest Zones, and Comfort Zones

Designing user journeys for meeting new people in safe, interest-driven ways

Creating flows for key features like matching, messaging, venue discovery, safety tools, and the unique Bored Blast

Developing a brand tone that is warm, respectful, and empowering

Delivering wireframes and high-fidelity screens ready for development
