HELLO!

I’m Makenna, a multi-disciplinary designer with over 10 years of experience spanning brand identity, visual design & product design.

MY BACKGROUND

My career has been shaped by two parallel paths.

For nearly a decade, I've designed for Xbox, creating cross-platform experiences and visual systems used by millions of players and families.

Alongside that, I've built an independent design practice partnering with startups and small businesses on brand identities, websites, and marketing design.

HAPPINESS IS...

i don't do surface level

If I’m in, I’m all in. I want to understand the why, not just the what.

design earns a seat at the table

I don’t decorate decisions - I help shape them.
I care about business goals, user psychology, and long-term systems.
