About

Hi, my name is Tanja Olson. Thank you for checking out my work. I received a Master of Urban and Regional Planning and a Graduate Certificate in Sustainability from Portland State University in 2022.  I grew up in the woods, off-grid, an hour outside of Portland, near Hood River, Oregon. I hike in the trees for my weekly Church of Nature. I’ve lived in Portland for 30 years. I have worked in clerical or retail jobs most of my life; I ran a portrait photography business for a few years. I am interested in the climate crisis and sustainability. Other interests: food, craft, travel, journaling, gardening, and cycling.
