Senior UX Designer at Amazon

I design how millions of shoppers in emerging markets find the best price and pay for it on Amazon.

About

In emerging markets, the price on the tag is rarely the price people pay. Coupons, bank offers and instalments change everything, and customers are left doing the maths.

I’ve spent six years at Amazon designing that maths away, so shoppers see the price they’ll actually pay and can buy it in a tap. Before that, I designed AI assistant experiences for Cortana at Microsoft.

Markets

At Amazon I design for ten emerging marketplaces across five continents, each with its own way of shopping.

That means designing for very different customer behaviours — how people browse, compare, pay and decide — and for offer constructs that stack bank discounts, coupons, cashback and instalments in different ways in every market, while keeping the value clear and simple to act on.
