​

Craig Olsen is considered one of the most creative and sought after talents in the design industry.  With a strong profile of residential and commercial clients, Olsen’s style is the “little black dress of design” -classic design with modern sensibility. Applying a hands on approach, Olsen designs around each client’s individual personality, with the belief that people should be surrounded by the things they love.

​

 Craig Olsen studied and earned his BFA from Cornish College of the Arts.

After receiving his degree he went to work with David Gaines, a prominent art and antique dealer in Seattle. Working with Gaines, Craig learned a sense of classic design and lifestyle while cultivating his fresh innovative twist on modern interiors.

In the late 90s Craig moved to Los Angeles and opened PLANTATION, a furniture showroom on La Brea – followed by his custom furniture-manufacturing showroom, BAMBOO COLONY.

Wanting a more intimate, hands on experience with his clients encompassing all areas of interior design, CRAIG OLSEN DESIGN was born!
