AkinMcKenzie

Production Designer Akin McKenzie transforms spaces into emotional terrains, crafting worlds that resonate with history, culture, and humanity. From the evocative recreation of 1980s Harlem in the Peabody-winning When They See Us (16 Emmy nominations) to the boundary-pushing Random Acts of Flyness (Peabody winner), the Criterion-selected Wildlife, and the culturally rich landscapes of The Woman King (126 award nominations), McKenzie’s work is both anthropology and art. Each project reflects a profound respect for lived and imagined pasts, blending beauty with deeper human vibrations, history with futurism, and the personal with the political.

His commercial work has also been recognised by Cannes Lions, Clio, Ciclope, shots, and others, showcasing his versatility and craft across a range of mediums.
