About me
MacKenzie is a creative planner, community advocate, and urban designer with 13 years of experience on projects across the East Coast, ranging from two-block developments to 1,000-acre master plans. Her work spans master planning, transit-oriented development, mixed-use and real estate projects, traditional neighborhoods, tactical urbanism, campus planning, corridor studies, and small area plans. Working across scales, she focuses on the intersections of landscape architecture, urban design, and place-based storytelling - crafting vibrant spaces that blend mixed uses, meaningful open space, local art, history, and culture.
An Associate Principal, Planner and Landscape Architect at Hanbury in Baltimore, she collaborates with multidisciplinary teams and leads impactful community engagement for both public- and private-sector clients. She is also a licensed Landscape Architect with a B.S. in Landscape Architecture from The Pennsylvania State University.
Outside of her primary role, MacKenzie’s personal writing and illustration work explores the relationships between mental health, nature, and the built environment. Her experience co-leading the Crownsville Hospital Memorial Park master plan has deepened her commitment to advancing mental wellness through design and to broadening the profession’s understanding of health, from landscape architecture to city-scale planning.
