As a Partner at Coen+Partners, McKenzie is redefining what’s possible in landscape architecture–blending ecology, culture, and conscious community into powerful design narratives. Her work lives at the intersection of bold vision and grounded execution, where land regeneration meets economic vitality and human transformation.

McKenzie’s passion lies in listening deeply–to the land, to people, and to the untold stories woven through place. She leads with intuition and rigor, guiding international teams through projects that range from UNESCO World Heritage sites to large-scale urban infrastructure transformations on a global portfolio.

As a National Olmsted Scholar, advocacy has always been at the heart of her call to harmonizing between earth and human desire. She is a past board member of the Landscape Architecture Foundation and current Advisory Council member for the ASLA Fund. McKenzie also speaks on the national stage, championing the profession’s role in climate adaptation, cultural resilience, and holistic systems design.
