## Meet Mackenzie Barr: Our Newest Sales Executive
We're excited to welcome **Mackenzie Barr** to the Tangram team as our new Sales Executive at the Newport Beach office. With her sales background at Wine Warehouse and fresh perspective as an Orange County native, Mackenzie brings enthusiasm and energy that perfectly complement our growing team.
### Getting to Know Mackenzie
As an Irvine local, Mackenzie understands the Southern California market from the ground up. Her transition from alcohol distribution to commercial interior design represents the kind of cross-industry experience that often brings valuable insights to client relationships and project development.
When she's not building client connections, you'll find Mackenzie enjoying pop music (with a particular soft spot for Shania Twain karaoke sessions) or spending time with her kitten. She's also refreshingly honest about her quirks—including her superstition about stepping on sidewalk cracks.
### What She Brings to Tangram
**Fresh Perspective**: Coming from outside the design industry, Mackenzie offers a unique viewpoint on client needs and market opportunities.
**Relationship Focus**: Her sales background emphasizes the importance of genuine connections—essential in commercial design where projects are built on trust and understanding.
**Local Knowledge**: As an OC native, she brings deep familiarity with the Newport Beach market and surrounding communities.
### Looking Forward
Mackenzie is most excited about expanding her skill set and connecting with both team members and clients. Her approach to relationship-building—whether she's planning an "Adult Candyland" themed party with Mariah Carey or sharing stories from her travels to the Hungarian countryside—shows the personal touch that makes lasting business partnerships.
This combination of professional sales experience and genuine enthusiasm for learning makes Mackenzie a valuable addition to our Newport Beach team. We're looking forward to seeing how her fresh perspective enhances our client relationships and contributes to successful project outcomes.
**Welcome to the team, Mackenzie!**
