Conceived in 1995, and started in a brownstone in Brooklyn NY on St. James Place in 1998, the main focus of 3.2.1.Contract was to provide small business owners in the marble & tile industry with take-offs, proposals, drawings, & estimating.
The name of my company, is a spin-off of a PBS kids show, since the original aim was to have an in-home office that allowed me to be with my two small children. As time went on, I was invited to work on projects by General Contractors, and Owners alike, that saw my dedication, and knowledgeable expertise in the trade. Working with notable & respected Interior Designers, Architects, & in Luxury Hi Rises as well.
My initial experience in the industry came when I worked part-time in college for a renowned well established leader, in the marble & tile industry. I furthered my career with a formal education, earning my Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Interior Design from Pratt Institute in 1999, with combined studies at the School of Architecture. In 2002, I once again returned to Pratt Institute, for my graduate studies at the School of Architecture, in Facilities Management.
In 2013, I was part of The Museum of The City of New York's exhibit "Go Home, NY", and initiative by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a push to provide affordable housing for single persons, and a growing senior population; thusly the "micro housing" movement was born. The exhibit was the most widely attended in the Museum's history. I am very proud of that effort.
As a native New Yorker, growing up in Queens NY, girls tended to have more traditional goals; certainly being at a job site wasn't one of them. However, my father always encouraged me to pursue careers, where women could have bigger roles.
I hope we get to work together, & also discuss how we can make the world a better place to live.
I presently reside in Brooklyn, NY.
