Seller Central is the seller-facing tool used by Amazon sellers to manage their business. In 2015, Amazon launched an Amazon Business program, a B2B version of Amazon where larger sellers could cater their listings to businesses shopping on Amazon. - Second designer on the team working on the program. - Led multiple large-scale UX efforts to introduce B2B specific features into Seller Central, a platform which hadn’t been originally optimized for the use case.- Led design of Business Central from ideation to launch and beyond, a new platform for business sellers to dive into how their business was doing on Amazon Business. - Led design of a portal that overhauled an extremely cumbersome process to request bulk discounts on products and replaced it with a simple interface.- Designed a widget for the homepage that allowed business sellers to see how well they were utilizing features of Amazon Business.

During the summer of 2015, I interned with the Seller Experience Design team at Amazon. Many products sold on Amazon are through 3rd party sellers who use Seller Central to manage their business. My main project was to redesign a recommendation tool on the homepage of Seller Central, seen and interacted by hundreds of thousands of sellers every day. I worked with the PM, TPM, SDM and the development team throughout my internship and launched the project successfully at the end of summer. I also led a four hour design workshop with my design team of 12 to envision how our selling platform should evolve to be most useful to our customers. Some of the activities I took the team through were:- Dividing participants into groups of two and making each group take on a different persona and think through the persona's lens, listing out their persona's daily activities, wants and needs.- Making each group take five things away and keep five things based on their persona's needs.- Affinity diagramming new features and ideas and voting on them.- Discussing and making tenets for their new vision of the platform. The insights from this workshop aided in creating new design directions and ideas for our platform, Seller Central.
