As a born and raised Ohioan, Mackenna pursued her degree in interior design at Ohio State University. Upon graduation, she packed her many bags to move down south to gain valuable experience working with major architecture firms in healthcare, hospitality, and corporate office design before deciding to launch her own firm back home in Columbus. She has a deep appreciation for rich colors, diverse textures, and the power of telling stories through interior spaces. With her extensive background and distinct vision, each project she undertakes reflects her belief that well-designed interiors are more than just a beautiful space - they are functional, timeless and will withstand the lifetime of memories made within them.

Mackenna's design process often begins with an in-depth exploration of her client's needs and personality. This ensures that every design choice—from color selections to furniture picks—aligns with their narrative and core values. Her passion for mixing antiques with luxury modern finishes infuses her work with a traditional charm, creating warm and inviting spaces while retaining an air of sophistication.

Mackenna's journey from Ohio State to the years honing her technical skills in the corporate world to the ownership of her studio showcases her fearless ability to take risks, her creativity, and unwavering commitment to her craft.
