Marissa Hilliard
Project Designer
Marissa, an Idaho native, grew up in Middleton with her older brother and twin sister. From the moment she graduated high school, she knew she wanted to pursue architecture. Her journey led her to the University of Idaho, where she first earned her bachelor’s degree and then her Masters degree in architecture. She’s eager to explore how the Boise community shapes local architecture and how it will inspire her own design perspective!
Marissa is interested in how architecture can impact the experiences of all people in their daily lives, in ways that are subtle yet significant enough to create lasting moments. She believes that architecture has the power to positively change communities and bring individuals together to create empathy, understanding and compassion.
When she is not at work or in the studio, Marissa enjoys spending time with her family and friends and finding new places to experience local culture.
