Using the recently designed contributor profile as a base, we explored new patterns that would help showcase the more data heavy fund information. Written content is core to the Livewire brand so we wanted to incorporate content in the profiles to help fund managers tell the story of the fund.

Designing the first iteration of fund search was an exercise in restraint. As with any search experience there were so many features we "could" have added but we had to be laser focused on what was usable (the easy part), valuable, viable and feasible. Each department worked together to deliver business and user value.

Filter controls were intentionally designed to be standalone modules that would help us design an experience specifically optimised for the filter type. For example, with 'filter by investment type' we wanted to lean into user education by providing more context in a wide modal, whereas 'filter by asset class' was a more traditional dropdown.

This also had the intended benefit of allowing us to release each filter to production independently. Asset class filter was released initially with investment type filter release once we were able to test and validate to a subset of users in production.
