Raised in Charleston, Marissa developed a passion for design inspired by the city’s unique blend of history and modern style. She brings an eye for detail and a talent for blending traditional elements with a fresh, coastal flair to every project.
When she’s not immersed in fabric and wallpaper samples, Marissa enjoys boating with her boyfriend Carson and their black lab, Goose, exploring Charleston’s vibrant restaurant scene with friends, traveling, or relaxing with family.
Originally from Louisiana, Marissa Alexander has happily made Charleston home and loves everything the Lowcountry has to offer. As Project Development Coordinator at Kate Miles Design, Marissa helps guide new clients through the onboarding process and supports the design team throughout each project, wherever she’s needed.
In addition to her work with clients and design projects, Marissa plays an important role in the creative side of the Kate Miles Design brand, assisting with marketing, website development, and overall brand growth. Her versatility, organization, and enthusiasm make her an integral part of the team.

Perfect for you if:
Our process begins with a phone call and in-home consultation to discuss your project, take measurements, and capture your vision. From there, we’ll design a plan, present it for approval, and manage orders, contractors, and installation to bring your vision to life.
We also offer e-design services, perfect for those who want a plan for their space, but have the time to handle the ordering, shipping etc. themselves
