DESIGN PROCESS
As a redesign, I spent a few days planning and researching the functionality of the existing filter system. Based on the information obtained, a user task flow was created, followed by brainstorming, wireframes, and personas to deliver a consistent design.
User Flow
Several attempts were made in grouping the filter options. First was trying to group the categories. The problem was identifying what options would be in each category. The second attempt is then coming up with a name for the sections once they have been grouped. Thus, a user flow was created to understand the structure better.
UI DESIGN
Filter Subcategory
Based on the business requirements, I broke down several of the filter options into categories. Each of the categories functions by allowing the user to select a set of choices to help them make their selections more accurate to their needs.
