Marissa has won widespread acclaim for creating unique, environmentally friendly furniture pieces, each of which is offered with the use of reclaimed wood. She curates a collection of designs from her prestigious client base and includes them in her furniture line.

Marissa, the mother of two, established her company, Mia Malcolm Studio, around the ideas that “furniture is art” and that it’s important to add logic to the luxury lifestyle. She was motivated to launch the company partly by her fearless independence and partly by her artistic instinct and upbringing.

“I grew up with a paint brush in one hand and a hammer in the other,” says Mia, a self-made and self-taught success who was influenced early on by her mother, a designer, and father, a contractor. “I can’t imagine allowing someone to alter my perspective on the play of shape and color.”

She developed that perspective early in her career, when she launched a thriving mural painting business.

Mia Malcolm Studio offers a full range of interior design services, ranging from space planning and project management to kitchen and bath renovation and selection of fabrics and flooring. She is backed by a team of some of the country’s leading workroom professionals, window fashion specialists, contractors, installers, lighting designers.

Marissa is the creator of Find it! Place it!, a remarkable mobile app that enables the user to create his/her space plan and select furnishings for it.  She uses the unique device to design the homes and furniture for her clients and makes it available to do-it-yourselfers.
