Top Contemporary Interior Designer, Mackenzie H.

Invite to Project

Mackenzie H.

Mackenzie's affinity for design began early and was heavily influenced by worldwide travel, hands-on fine art projects, and an appreciation for meaningful spaces discovered through everyday life. With experience in residential, commercial, and the design non-profit sector, she's discovered just how much design impacts how we feel, function, and connect. Her passion is in cultivating spaces that authentically represent her clients, both in function and form. Her secret to timeless spaces lies in mixing existing or vintage pieces with fresh, contemporary elements. Mackenzie’s work is rooted in connection, thoughtful details, and a belief that great design should be accessible to all so we can live our best authentic lives.

Describe your favorite project:

My favorite projects are those where the client discovers more of their personal style as we design together—especially when they feel confident enough to explore bold colors, rich textures, and unique patterns they wouldn’t normally choose. The best projects require some creative leaps and in the end the client feels truly represented through design.

We know you love designing, but what about it do you love most?

Design, for me, is about more than creating beautiful spaces—it’s about helping people feel at home in a way that’s deeply personal and true to who they are. I’m driven by the transformation that happens when a space reflects someone’s story, lifestyle, and values. It’s incredibly fulfilling to guide clients toward spaces that not only look good but feel grounding, joyful, and fully them.

From where do you draw most of your inspiration?

I draw inspiration from everyday life—specifically nature, travel, antique stores, and meaningful conversations. I’m especially inspired by the mix of texture, tone, and feeling found in lived-in spaces, vintage details, and the way light moves through a room. I’m always observing, collecting moments and materials that spark something intuitive and honest.
