People that inspire Mackenzie:
Younger me. She kept going. She learned to pivot and channel the skill set she had at the time to create a career she wanted. I never felt lost – every path had something different to offer so I tried them all.
I’m constantly inspired by my network of friends and clients – I feel like I am standing on the shore of a beach and every time someone within my creativity circle has an idea it creates a wave that reaches me and it becomes an endless ripple affect of inspiration. We all just flow together.
