Hannah Olson
Project Engineer
Coming from three generations of builders, the construction process has been a mainstay throughout Hannah's life. Naturally, she caught the building bug and immersed herself in the industry early on, earning her Certificate in Construction Management from the University of Washington. She’s also a professional artist. If you’re a visual learner and lucky enough to have her on your project, you will be treated to sketches that support her explanations. As a painter, designer, photographer, and overall creative genius, it’s no surprise that Hannah’s favorite aspect of construction is having a perceptible display of the team’s progress.
