Hi! I'm Mackenzie. I live in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver with my fiancé, pets, and extensive houseplant collection.
I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of data and storytelling - I graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism with experience as a multimedia reporter in business and political news before pivoting to UX.
I’m an amateur potter, outdoors enthusiast and a good listener. Outside of work you’ll often find me as far away from a computer screen as possible: fishing, hiking, knitting, reading, or tinkering with my newest film camera.
I deeply value the practice of empathy that’s required to succeed in this industry and pride myself on being a good teammate, friend, and leader.
