Tiimely Home Website

Complete redesign and rebuild of Tiimely Home's marketing site after the Tic:Toc rebrand — covering brand expression, conversion paths, broker offerings, and a Figma design system tied to React + Next.js.

After the Award Winning Tic:Toc Home Loans was rebranded to Tiimely Home, it was a great opportunity to rebuild the retail website.

Tiimely Home is the destination for customers to find, compare and apply for home loans. The site is made up of two parts: a direct-to-consumer Tiimely Home product offering, alongside a broker offering that includes major Australian bank brands.

The challenges for the project were significant — concurrent launches of tiimelyhome.com.au and tiimely.com, alongside extensive risk and compliance reviews tied to operating in regulated financial services.

My role

  • UI Design Lead — Figma design system, all page and component design.
  • UX Design Lead — research, IA, user flows, prototypes, and usability testing.
  • Creative Direction — defined the brand expression online and partnered with the rebrand team.
  • Product Management — led the project working group, set and tracked outcomes.
  • Wrote RFPs and interviewed 8 delivery vendors before selecting the build partner.
  • Built the Figma design system that drove the production React components.
  • Designed 20+ pages and product features across direct-to-consumer and broker journeys.
  • Managed the technical SEO migration and analytics implementation.

Research & Strategy

Used the Double Diamond Design Thinking approach to move from problem discovery through to a defined design direction.

Research

The discovery phase pulled together user personas, competitive analysis and market research across both direct-to-consumer and broker audiences. We synthesised findings into clear opportunity areas for the rebuild.

Design Direction

Element-by-element weighting was used to compare design direction options against brand, conversion, and accessibility goals.
