Mike Slater

I’ve been designing and building various forms of content for over 20 years, not in a straight line, and never by accident. My background spans tech, film, advertising, and product design. I don’t just think about how things look, but how they function and how people experience them.

As a founding member and Head of Design at Preo, I helped grow a product from concept to acquisition, contributing to $10.8M in raised funding and leading product and brand design across North and South America for six years. That experience fundamentally shaped how I approach design. As infrastructure, not decoration.

Since then, I’ve collaborated on work for Google, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Pfizer, and others, building motion systems, spatial installations, and product visualizations that translate complex ideas into clear, tangible experiences.

My work has lived in Times Square for years, supported global health initiatives, and helped launch products before they physically existed.

Whether partnering with a startup or a global brand, I bring a product-first mindset and a systems-driven approach to motion and design.
