I had the honor and pleasure of working as the primary designer for the Facilities product team during my time as a Junior Product Designer. The product had 7 sites to manage, all tied to different brick-and-mortar addiction treatment facilities all across the United States.

Around Q3 2020, my product manager wanted to find a project for all of the design team to work together on since we're all working on separate products and therefore projects 99.9% of the time. Coincidentally, the Facilities Product Owner had just come up with this idea to redesign a chart on one of our highest intent, high trafficked pages. It was on the Treatment Overview page, and she thought it was time to redesign the treatment offerings and amenities chart.

There were a couple of problems to this chart:
1. It was awkward and hard to digest
2. There was extra interaction cost for essential information
3. Some buttons and functionality came off confusing

Following some discussion, I was given the responsibility to lead and oversee this project in collaboration with the design team.

This was new and exciting for me, and I thought to be a good leader in this project I would need to be transparent and communicate well with all stakeholders involved. Our next steps would be creating a mockup of the chart, each of us exploring different concepts and options. Following that, the plan was to review with the product owner and see which of the mockups she thought would work the best, and move forward with it. It was like a multivariate optimization test, with each of us creating one variation.

I set up estimated deadlines for us to hit, as well as detailed instructions on how to reach our goals. I also set up time for us to review our progress and made it clear that I was ready to help where I could.

Rachel's concept was to explore a toggle feature.

After meeting with Sarah, she found that different pieces of each of these variations could prove to be useful in the redesign. It was an awesome feeling to see us pivot from the original plan of picking one variation to combining variations - to me it showed how each of us had something strong to share, and how important collaboration was on a project like this.

The next step then was for me to take those notes and combine the variations to make a new variation of the designs. Not only that, I would showcase the functionality of all the different steps that this design would have, specifically on the filter system.

After reviewing the new redesigns, we were all set for developer handoff. I used the frames that I had worked on for the presentation and made it as readable to our developer as possible.
