The other thing you should also know is that just because they ask for 2 to 3 years experience, doesn't mean it's a hard must have. Hiring managers put out an ask and know that they won't get 💯 of the asks. Apply anyway and try to stand out. Get referrals if you can as those always go a long way.
My suggestion would be to focus on telling a story about the work you did there. What was the ask? How did you work through your research to get to design? Most importantly, what lessons did you learn from the work and how did you address those issues? If you write a solid case study for this experience, it doesn't matter as much that the project or company went under.
