Industrial Design
“I design intuitive systems that translate complexity into clarity, using play, curiosity, and technology to create tools that feel honest, useful, and grounded in real needs.”

I’m Mackenzie Thomas, an industrial designer focused on creating tools and experiences that make everyday life better. I explore how technology, play, and people intersect, turning complex systems into simple, purposeful solutions. Whether it’s digital services, physical products, or connected experiences, I build with curiosity and a hands-on mindset. Outside of design, I’m always experimenting, welding, 3D printing, prototyping, and picking up new tools to expand what I can create.
