“I wear a lot of hats at KMB architects, and I love that every day is different. I get to be both creative and analytical.”

Meet the Team | Anna

Because of her well-rounded skillset and willing nature, Anna Grzankowski fills a special role at KMB architects, supporting the firm with financial administration, marketing, and office management. Anna returned home to Olympia after spending six years in Portland where she worked at two small architecture firms and a commercial real estate brokerage firm. These experiences exposed her to all the operational procedures that make an architectural firm excel and thrive, and Anna enthusiastically applies her expertise to ensure the KMB architects’ team members are always set up for success.

Anna gracefully moves between “right brain” creative tasks while aiding our marketing efforts and “left brain” activities like financial analysis or contract management. She also supports our project teams with research and graphic design. This mix of roles and responsibilities is what Anna says she loves most about her position at the firm – that every day is different, with the opportunity to interact with a variety of team members and partners. Anna credits her organizational skills and “get it done” mentality, as well as her affable personality, with her ability to juggle competing priorities and schedules.

“When I get a task, I want to get it done to the best of my abilities; I don’t procrastinate. I love to check things off my to-do list.”

In her personal life, Anna taps more of her creative side as a passionate sewist of over 15 years. She enjoys sewing garments, items for her home, and quilts.
