Sarah Young has experienced tremendous growth over her 11-year career in the industry. Beginning as a project designer, Young has advanced to managing teams of designers while earning her architect license and DBIA certification this year.

Young has driven significant organizational changes at her company, implementing project tracking systems and developing forecasting and lead tracking systems that align with long-term goals. She established high standards for written communications, including proposals and meeting minutes, while fostering a culture where team members feel heard, valued and welcomed.

As regional chair for Oregon with the Design-Build Institute of America Northwest Region, Young will assume the role of co-chair for programs and events in the Pacific Northwest early next year. She has presented at regional and national DBIA events, including orchestrating and leading a panel on Virtual Design and Construction techniques and AI integration in the design-build process at a recent conference in Spokane, Washington.

Outside of work, Young volunteers at Portland Night Strike, an organization providing ser-vices to the area鈥檚 unhoused residents.
