Meet Mackenzie

Hi! I’m Mackenzie Jamieson, the creative cryptid behind Sleepy Corgi Studios. My appetite to create has never been satiated. From a childhood building with PIPEWORKS™, tinkering with robotics kits, sewing lessons from my mom, editing video with Avid in the late 90s, building sets in high school theater, to word smithing and graphics in college, skills accumulate in my life like a Katamari ball.

In my early days living in Hollywood, I somehow ended up managing blogs, e-commerce websites, and wrangling social media accounts for businesses. Eventually, I stumbled into becoming the Costume Department Head for LARP events (foam swords, real commitment, extraordinary costumes). I had the privilege of building beautiful things on a deadline with extremely gifted and enthusiastic people while on a shoe string budget. That would later inspire me to create a YouTube channel called “Thrift Store LARPer” and later “Hey Mackenzie J!” that focused on props and costumes from thrifted and found items.

I worked as art crew on Star Trek: Renegades (yes, that one), operated a boom mic on a few short films (I kept it very steady even on top of a ladder, thank you), and wrote, shot, and edited my own short — Run Rogue Run involving a rogue, some very determined dogs, and an accidental magic portal summoned mid-escape through the woods. You know, normal stuff.

Not much has changed over the past decade. Today I rotate through sewing costumes for participants of the Renaissance Fairs in the PNW, wordsmith for businesses and community causes, edit videos ad campaigns and manage social media accounts.

What can I say? A creative life is never boring.
