Reimagining the filter, sort, and group process, transforming

complexity into clarity and boosting efficiency.

Problem

Imagine managing a large volume of genotyping data with your research team, only to find that locating specific information has become increasingly challenging. While Transnetyx offers a filter, sort, and group system to help organize the data, the navigation process was unclear and inefficient. My goal was to enhance this experience by improving the clarity and ease of navigation, ensuring that researchers could quickly find and analyze the data they needed.

Solution

I designed an intuitive filter, sort, and group system integrated into a permanent, collapsible panel on the left-hand side of the interface. This allowed for a

cleaner, more streamlined user experience. Simultaneously, I carefully analyzed the original concept, selectively removing certain design elements to create a

fresh, modern look that enhances usability while maintaining the core functionality.

Research

Met with product manager to discuss my
role on the team, main issue users are
facing, expectation of the project and goal.

Target Audience: Researchers at various institutions who test samples to drive advancements in human health.

Competitive Analysis

Performing a competitive analysis of the
biotech industry comparing Transnetyx to
companies that offer similar products/ services
to their clients.

Iteration Process

During the iteration process I performed three rounds of designs

until I got to the final version of the design that was suitable for

both the users needs and the companies needs.

Iterations

Started design with a simple

sort and filter button on the to

conserve space leaving room

for other buttons or valuable

screen space for data on the

table.

Changed design from a simple

filter button to a label "Sort &

Filter" with a plus sign. This

allows for the user journey to be

much clearer to the Sort and

filter panel. The plus sign was

added to correlate with the

minimize button when the panel

is in its open state.


Also removed the white space

between the filter panel and the

side navigation allow freeing up

screen space for the data table.

Reflection

During my time at Transnetyx, I gained invaluable insights not only into design but also into my personal growth as a designer. This experience taught me how to approach design in a specialized industry, enabling me to create tailored solutions for unique products and services. It also helped me pinpoint areas for improvement, particularly in my design thinking and process. Furthermore, the role strengthened my presentation skills, highlighting both my strengths and areas where I can continue refining my approach. Overall, it was a rewarding experience to collaborate with a team that is genuinely passionate about their work and committed to making a meaningful impact on the industry.
