Steve Olson

LEED AP

Designer + QA/QC

Pre-Architecture Program Studies, Portland State University


Steve, a registered architect in California (and formerly in Hawaii), has over 40 years of design experience. He has managed projects such as complex educational, public, mixed-use, institutional, industrial facilities, and parking structures. Steve has served as a project manager at Steele Associates since 2005, and excels at building client relationships, construction and schedule management, and staff supervision and coordination.


Since 2022 Steve chose to work part time and is semiretired. We suspected that he wouldn’t be able to completely leave the practice of architecture and we’re very fortunate to have him continue to mentor and share his vast knowledge and experience in the firm.


Steve is actively involved in supporting his local community, participating in the “Architects in Schools Program”, Kiwanis, and the annual Education Foundation Trivia Bee. Outside the office he enjoys spending time with his family and riding his Harley Davidson.
