Challenge

Challenge

Make one of Australia's most complex property decisions easier to navigate and compare.

Retirement village information is fragmented across operators, with inconsistent pricing, available homes, contracts, ongoing costs, exit fees, services and terminology making meaningful comparison difficult.

Solution

Solution

Define the product from the ground up, then design the entire marketplace ecosystem around it.

I shaped the product strategy and marketplace model, structured operators, villages and homes into a consistent data system, and designed search, filters, maps, location discovery, village and property pages, cost experiences, content, operator tooling and future AI capabilities.
