Background

About MacKenzie Leighton

I’m a conceptual design leader focused on translating athlete and consumer needs into clear product strategy and creative direction for technical apparel, equipment, and accessories. I turn insight into action—framing the right problems, organizing complexity, and defining design intent that aligns teams around meaningful solutions.I bring an industrial design problem‑solving mindset and a strong understanding of performance materials and technical construction, which informs how I shape product. Visual sensitivity keeps the work sharp and coherent. I lead with a calm, collaborative approach—supporting designers, empowering them to push their craft, and uniting cross‑functional partners around thoughtful, high‑performing product.
