I'm Mackenna,
A passionate emerging designer with a strong foundation in branding and identity, developed through both academic study and hands-on industry experience. My design approach combines custom typography with sketchy, expressive illustration styles allowing me to craft visual narratives that feel both distinctive and intentional.
During my time at the University of Newcastle, I worked on fast-paced, quick-turnaround projects that sharpened my ability to think strategically and deliver quality outcomes under pressure.
