She learned the ins and outs of the industry and eventually ended up in sales and design. She prides herself in building and fostering relationships through trust and honesty. This open communication between her and the clients has allowed her to land on final products that fit them perfectly, while also keeping the integrity of her clients vision.

At her high school Mackenzie stood out from the casual crowd by experimenting with her style. While the average student wore leggings, hoodies and sneakers, she sported leather jackets, blazers, pencil skirts and high heels. It was only natural that she would move to a fashion city, and she did, three years later. After two semesters into the Fashion Marketing program at the Art Institute, she got a call about a job opening in Los Angeles. Deciding to take a chance she flew to L.A to interview with Jhoanna Alba. One month later, she left school, a job at Starbucks and her family to move to L.A and start work at ALBA the summer of 2015.
Though a little timid and unsure at first, Mackenzie proved that hard work pays off. Within her first year she was already helping high profile clients like Magic Johnson. In five years Mackenzie has had her suits worn at NBA and NFL drafts, two Los Angeles Dodger’s weddings and has assisted with costumes on TV shows like American Soul. Her obsession with pattern and fabrics fuels her creativity and helps her to design some truly unique pieces.
