About Michael Walker
Senior Product Designer at Amazon
Hi! I'm a Senior Product Designer at Amazon in New York City. My skills include product design, design strategy development, user interface design, user experience design, user research, and usability testing. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and I have taken UX Design courses at the Nielsen Norman Group.
My work and interests lie at the intersection between data, design, and socio-political issues. I believe that human-computer interaction is reciprocal and that interfaces must be built to better the lives of individuals and society overall.
I volunteer regularly at Out in Tech design-a-thons (Digital Corps) and volunteer often with New York City-based organizations.

What mentees say
“I had a mock whiteboard challenge session with Michael, and it was a great experience! He took the time to understand my needs beforehand and thoughtfully prepared a topic for us to work through. His feedback was well-structured, constructive, and encouraging.”
“First, I'm grateful that Michael had this mentorship session with me, despite having a full workday. He answered all my questions, giving relevant examples to illustrate his points. I found the information about Amazon's approach to design, the characteristics of an excellent Product Designer and the responsibilities of a Sr. Designer to be particularly helpful.”
“I had a really productive session with Michael! He shared so many useful insights, walked me through examples from his own experience, and gave me a lot of practical advice that I can actually use. I also really appreciated his positive attitude and encouragement throughout the session, it made the whole experience feel very supportive and motivating! Huge thanks to Michael for taking the time…”
