Description & Objectives:

To encourage use of their products, Texas Instruments provides reference designs for electrical engineers to use as a baseline for their own designs. While there was already a basic reference design search tool available on TI.com, it lacked a presence in the main sections the site – applications and products. Further, the search tool lacked the ability to filter beyond the primary levels of the products and applications associated with the designs. This made it difficult for users to narrow the vast array of designs down to those that applied to the specific types of applications on which they were working.

The primary objective of this project was to improve the findability of reference designs in two ways: (1) Provide a tab presence for featured reference designs and a pre-filtered instance of the reference design search tool on application and product pages; and (2) enhance the application and product facets in the design search tool to enable users to refine their searches based on the full hierarchies of those facets. The work samples in this document feature some key aspects of enhancing the application and product facets.

My Responsibilities:

Create the user experience designs for the faceted search enhancements.

Tools:

Visio, Axure

Collaborators:

Subject matter expert from the applications business unit, a UX colleague who assisted during the second phase and eventually took on the project as it moved into the development phase, visual UI designer, systems architect, lead developer
