aboutus
In March 2020, when quarantine began, we were newly engaged, working for other people, and while we loved our home — it was just a place for our stuff. Over the past two years, we’ve found so much healing and joy in making this home ours. From building the shiplap fireplace of our dreams to curating a routine to more efficiently clean the house, we’ve developed a core relationship with the space around us — and it’s changed us.
Homebody.hq is a celebration of the spaces where we feel safe, and the process of creating them.
Being called a homebody has always felt like a slam, but there’s no place I’d rather be than at home with my family. We are home now more than ever, and there’s nothing better to invest your time, money and energy in.

“Being a homebody is my freakin superpower. Being able to create a space where I can become my best self is empowering and frankly, how I’ve survived the past few years.”

Mackenzie was born and raised in the outskirts of Orlando, FL. In 2015, she graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in broadcast journalism.
She worked as a news producer for a few local news stations in the Southeast, and then in 2018, she moved to Nashville to begin a new career as a copywriter. She worked for a couple major brand agencies in Nashville before she landed a job writing for Bustle, which allowed her to step out of her 9-to-5 and be her own boss as a freelance writer and content creator.

Chance was born in the mountains of East Tennessee, but he moved to the frigid prairies of Kenosha, Wisconsin at the age of 12 until his high school graduation. In 2014, he graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in public relations and sports & entertainment management.
He moved to Nashville and started his career in the music business as a photographer & content creator for many artists such as KISS, Darius Rucker, Hootie & the Blowfish, Keith Urban, Martina McBride, Mickey Guyton, and Cassadee Pope among many others. He’s also spent years on the road dovetailing as a tour manager and merchandise manager. In 2020, the music industry shut down, so Chance was forced to become a full-time freelancer.
