“Because it sucks” is not a reason to redesign. “It sucks” leaves the
scope wide open with no measure of success. It’s a sure way to scrap
the good decisions you made along with the mistakes.

Instead, start the redesign with a question: “What is right about this
design?” Use that perspective to identify specific problems and then
target those exact problems.
