Marissa McKinney

Superpower | Fiercely Loyal // Marissa is the loudest cheerleader for the people she loves in life.

Marissa moved to Bozeman sight unseen to fulfill her dream of living immersed in Montana’s wild landscape and to work on the community-driven projects 45 Architecture is known for.

She was the interiors team's first recruit and works closely with Heather Porlier to redefine the collaboration between interior designers and architects, such that their respective disciplines work hand-in-hand through the design process. The result is a sense of cohesion between the interior and exterior elements of a project, creating a unified experience for the people enjoying it. Marissa studied both architecture and interiors, which gives her a dynamic lens into each discipline.

Marissa enjoys backpacking and fishing with her husband and by fishing she means sitting in the river with a good book.
