Since starting KGD, I’ve worked with over 300 women-owned businesses, co-founded a design academy, and launched The Unapologetic Designer podcast (warning: treat your designer right or you might end up as one of my nightmare client stories...kidding… kind of). I strive to work with female founders who aren't afraid to be real and understand that business can be messy but fun at the same time.
my story
i'm mackenzi (kenzi).
i believe..
the big vision
Respecting other people’s time is non-negotiable
I respect other people’s time the same way I want mine respected. If we schedule a meeting and you no-show without a valid reason, we’re probably not a good fit. Mutual respect is non-negotiable.
Every living being deserves equal respect
I stop for every turtle crossing the road, have cradled more baby birds than I can count, and gently escort spiders outside in a bowl. I don’t believe humans are above any other living being, I care deeply for all creatures, big or small.
Experiences > Stuff
I’m a minimalist through and through...experiences over things, always. I’ll splurge on handcrafted quality that lasts, but I have zero interest in clutter. People say my home feels 'un-lived in'… not my fault that minimalism makes them uncomfortable!
Building a business should feel like an adventure
Becoming an entrepreneur is messy, different, and challenging in all the best (and worst) ways. I love hearing about your wild wins...like booking that $20K Airbnb for your retreat even when your bank account said 'girl, don't do it' (been there). Business isn’t just strategy, it’s guts, chaos, and trusting the vision anyway.
are your ready to invest in a brand transformation that finally reflects the bold unapologetic work you deliver?
