About

Hey, I'm Sergio Slansky, a Principal Design Manager at Microsoft and a design leader who builds.

I lead design for Viva Learning, Learning Agent and People Skills, where we're reimagining what employee learning and growth look like in the age of AI, integrating intelligent tools directly into the flow of work. The goal: empower individuals, align talent with what organizations actually need, and open up new career paths through AI-driven experiences that genuinely help people.

The thread that's run through fifteen years: I don't just design products, I build them. That started early in my career, when I had to be both the designer and the front-end dev, and it's followed me ever since. Today it's building apps, agents, skills, and AI-native workflows at Microsoft and andDesign Labs. Before that, Nike, designing employee experiences across HR Global Strategy, Service Innovation, and the Nike Adapt app. And before that, freelance work, a product designer role at Solutional, lead designer at Pro Photo Supply and Journeys of the Heart, and my own clothing brand. Along the way I've designed and built for Canon, Fujifilm, Intel, Nike, Nikon, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and more.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer at heart, focused on connected products, services, and interactive experiences, with a front-end developer's hands and a product leader's instincts. I care about work that aligns what people need with what businesses need, and about building teams where people do the best work of their careers.

Based in Portland, Oregon.

My name is Sergio Slansky. I am currently a prototype designer at Nike, where I do a mix of leading and contributing to the design of products that elevate the employee experience. Formerly, I was a Product Designer at Nike on the Nike Adapt app (iOS and aOS) within the Nike Digital Design Organization.

I am a Digital Designer (User Experience Design, User Interaction) with ten years of experience elevating brands and products through design thinking and five years as a freelancer and team leader. I’m an Innovative designer, thought partner, and researcher with a proven ability to create meaningful experiences that align user and business goals while creating successful products.
