MacPherson is an interior designer with a background in health and biophilia — the innate, sensory connection people have with the natural world. In her 24 years at Mithun, she has led the design of workplace and residential interiors for diverse projects including the Weyerhaeuser headquarters in Seattle, Heartline in Portland, and two student housing developments for UC Irvine, Mesa Court Towers and Middle Earth Towers. Keene is a landscape architect who has led site design for many of Mithun's signature projects including cultural landscapes for the National Nordic Museum in Seattle and the Wanapum Heritage Center in Mattawa, and campus workplaces. Among them are the Perot Family offices and Tulalip Administration Building.
