About McKenzie Phillips

I work in business development for Interiors For Business (IFB), a Steelcase dealership, partnering with A&D firms and commercial real estate teams to bring thoughtful, high-performing spaces to life. My role sits at the intersection of design, strategy, and relationships, helping clients navigate decisions that shape how people work, collaborate, and experience a space. With a background as a Registered Interior Designer, I bring a strong foundation in how spaces function and come together. That perspective allows me to connect with project teams in a meaningful way and add value beyond just the product, with an understanding of both design intent and the practical considerations behind each decision. My interest in real estate developed through my experience purchasing and selling homes, giving me an appreciation for the nuances of the process and the impact of well-executed decisions. Today, I am also a Realtor with @properties, approaching each client relationship with a strategic and detail-oriented mindset. Across both roles, my focus remains the same: building meaningful relationships and guiding thoughtful, well-informed decisions around space.
