Mackenzie Child

Hey, I'm Mackenzie. I design and build internet things. Sometimes for the teams & companies I work with, sometimes for myself.

I'm based in Atlanta with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son, figuring out the balance between shipping projects and raising a tiny human, learning a lot from both.

My main focus is product design & front-end dev, but I also dabble in brand & illustration.

Experience
15+ years building & shipping digital products for companies and my own ideas.
Teaching
Taught hundreds design and code topics through YouTube + courses, and contributed to thousands more through my work at various companies.
Superpower
