THE EDIT:

Mackenzie Courtney is the co-founder of Upper Story, a content agency that boasts some pretty cool clients like Stumptown Coffee, Jacobsen Salt Co. and Soter Vineyards. I met Mackenzie while working at a coffee shop in Portland almost 20 years ago. Although she recently moved to New York, we still talk pretty much every day. Mackenzie is someone I consistently reach out to for style tips, recipes and design ideas. She appreciates good food, good times and knows how to give a good gift (like seriously, the best gifts!).
