As a senior designer in KCCT’s international studio, Marina Miers’s expertise spans the lifecycle of each of her projects, from programming and schematic design through construction documents and administration. Specializing in government, commercial, education, and healthcare work, she applies an integrated, community-focused design approach across each of her industry sectors, prioritizing the well-being of her clients in each space that she designs.

She has previously lived in São Paulo, Brazil, where her interest in design began while biking through her neighborhood, observing construction progress and developing a passion for placemaking. She has curated an exhibition on Lina Bo Bardi alongside author Zeuler Lima, which has been displayed in educational institutions around the world.
