Hi, I'm
Mackenzie!
I was born and raised in Orange County, California and I've been a graphic designer since 2018. I graduated with my BFA in graphic design with a minor in leadership from Chapman University.​ When I’m not working, you can find me at estate sales on a hunt for vintage artwork; dabbling in interior design; or out chasing sunsets with my pup.
As a passionate and skilled graphic designer with over 5 years of experience, I am proud to showcase my featured work. From branding and digital illustrations to custom typography, my portfolio offers a glimpse into my unique style and creative approach to design. With each project, I strive for perfection in capturing my clients' needs. Can my work elevate your vision? Let me know how we can best collaborate!
Learning, a lifelong process in design, and life, is the pursuit of deeper conceptual understanding and greater intentionality. Learning doesn't stop at mastering the basics, but continues to evolve throughout a designer's career.
Emphasizing the importance of depth of concept acknowledges that design is subjective and multidimensional. It suggests that what makes a designer exceptional may vary depending on individual perspectives and contexts.
Good designers create aesthetically pleasing designs, but they do so without purpose and intention behind every decision made.
“While I believe
anyone can learn the
tools of the trade —
ultimately it’s the
depth of concept &
level of intentionality
that distinguishes
a good designer from
an exceptional one.”
It's not just about using tools proficiently but also about having a profound comprehension of design principles, theories, and methodologies.
A level of intentionality requires strong critical thinking skills. These skills help analyze problems, understand user needs, and conceptualize solutions in a way that goes beyond surface-level considerations.
Exceptional designers are not just skilled at executing eye-catching work, but are also problem solvers —capable of generating innovative solutions and pushing the boundaries of design.
Overall, my design philosophy encourages not only mastering tools, but delving deeper into the conceptual aspects of design in order to approach my work with a higher level of intention. Thus, allowing me to create designs with a lasting impact. Producing work that goes beyond mere aesthetics to address deeper challenges, solve problems effectively, and resonate with users on a deeper level is what I strive for.
