Marissa Mead

Marissa graduated from the University of Notre Dame as an architecture major, but it wasn’t a fascination with designing buildings that initially set her on this path. A self-described maker and puzzle-solver, Marissa also believes in the power of beautiful places. 

With her early studies of sculpture and furniture design and more recent work experience fabricating architectural ornament, Marissa brings to the table a focus on small, design-intensive aspects of larger projects. The commitment to architecturally integrated art engages Marissa’s passion to bring human scale, meaning, and delight to built environments.

Marissa manages large projects in multiple project sectors and also serves as a design lead and coordinator of integrated artwork elements across the firm’s portfolio. She strives to connect people and communities to their environments through architectural art and placemaking, and draws her greatest pleasure from the delight of occupants taking their places in a newly completed building.
