Context

What is Amazon PrimeRx?

PrimeRx is a prescription savings benefit for Amazon Prime members in the U.S. Think of it as the coupon clipper for medications.

Problem

Unfortunately, our Prime members weren't using this new service much

Customers were confused. The benefit was poorly explained, it was hard to compare prices, and the whole thing felt disconnected from the usual Amazon experience. These challenges led to disappointing use rates.

  • End-to-end design: Led the entire flow, from entry point and landing page to search results and benefit card profile.
  • Content masterplan: Mapped information to mirror the familiar Amazon shopping experience, making medication searches feel straightforward.

Key project wins
