Delivered Concepts

Weeks of research and conceptual exploration led to 4 refined options, each one with it's own list of strengths and weaknesses.

Tab 1 of 4: Concept 1

Concept 1:

Quick filter options, with a side drawer experience for universal adoption.

Concept 1 focuses on quick actionability while not straying from the pattern our users have become familiar with. This one keeps the compact and discreet UX for filters, but doesn't solve for the visibility into what filters are available.

My Preferred

If I were given full control of delivery and function, then Option 3 would be my solution.

Option 3 allows for simplistic understanding and navigation across any filter set. Works well for mobile and gives decent visibility into the values that are being applied. A little more time to set up complex filtering is permissible due to usage data on 1 to 2 filters applied 86% of the time in the product.
