Hey, I'm Mackenzie. I’m a product designer, illustrator & side-project enthusiast. I'm currently leading design over at Podia.
Here are some products / projects I've launched:
Adobe Illustrator Essentials Course
This is a free course covering only the essential things you need to know (I don't cover everything so it's not overwhelming) to start using Adobe Illustrator.
Blocks Wireframing Kit for Sketch
I made this wireframe kit to advantage of Sketch symbols to make the wireframing process as easy as drag & dropping in the layout you want.
Chicomojis
This is a free pack of emojis for Slack, based on my cat Chico :)
Watch Me Practice
This was an experiment where I live-streamed some of my illustration & UI design practice sessions. I did 15 livestreams, but ended up stopping the project.
