Coined "Frangsta the Gangsta" by her comrades, this 5" tall wisp of a powerhouse is wicked fluent in design & construction with a piercing, laser eye for detail. Flamboyant and irreverent, she gets her hands and brain dirty in every aspect of an art exhibition, project or endeavor: be it numbers or nuance. This gloriously unabashed, unapologetic, Self-Appointed Know-It-All was classically trained and performed as a dancer, educated and worked as an Architectural Designer and packs a handy dandy undergrad in middle eastern Political Science to boot.

Ms. Frangos is proud owner of an equally active right and left brain which lends itself to producing pioneering trail blazing projects. Highly skilled in the unteachable art of deal making the first lease she ever negotiated was a $1.2 Million agreement with Sony Electronics directly with officials from Japan. She built the 2nd semi-conductor chip-design center in the US (their 1st in San Jose) and procured the country’s first retail-shipping container storefront. Over the past decade, she negotiated a nauseating amount of commercial leases (including JP Morgan, Wild Oats, and Community Builders - the largest non-profit urban housing developer in the United States), navigated aggressive construction schedules, designed commercial and residential interiors and driven project management jobs to completion. Further, she participated in deal-development in Malibu, CA, San Antonio, Texas and NYC, NY.

"Frangsta the Gangsta’s" signature is a high-brow-meets-low brow concept personally carried through every phase of a project with attention to the most minute detail. She draws from a board knowledge of film, history, art, urban planning, and the psychology of design to inform her unique style. Having once functioned as a licensed General Contractor with a bit of industrial design experience doesn't hurt either when it comes to erecting installation art. While living in Los Angeles, she received her BOMA ( National Association of Building Owners and Managers) designation.

More recently, she collaborated with CMU and functioned as a consultant to The Heinz School of Public Policy on a team which was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Ms. Frangos has been featured in more than 40 articles nationwide, including an in-depth profile in Pittsburgh Magazine. Some little known publication that may ring a bell -----Business Week Magazine---(along with the Royal Academy of Architecture) named her as one of ten people in the country to participate on an esteemed panel for an international year-long review of development projects as a featured series.

A staunch supporter of four-legged friends, she launched the 501© company, Good Dogma, as a SPA luxury merchandise brand with net proceeds benefiting animals. Ms. Frangos created the concept; designed the product, logo and website; marketed, pitched and secured deals; and tendered on-camera television time. Good Dogma was featured on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and was also featured in Las Vegas Swag Bags, winning celebrity support of the product. This lead the company to expand into yoga wear, dog-walking & sports gear and greeting cards/kitsch. As if that weren't enough, she is also the creator of Open Sesame, a branded business envelope as well as designing furniture and lighting fixtures as custom "one-offs" for private clients.

Her charitable efforts include serving as Executive Director of FIDO. This position entailed drafting legislative policy, managing 90 members, and serving as its spokesperson. Consummate event planner that she is, Ms. Frangos produced several galas such as Gods and Monsters (deemed best party of the year by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) benefiting PAFT, and The Fur Ball, and event benefiting the no-kill shelter animal friends. Ms. Frangos doesn't sleep. Think Tyler Durden from "Fight Club."( Don't worry, she is not making soap. Yet.) We almost forgot to mention she speaks English, Greek, Arabic, and is studying Hebrew. Most likely part of her plan for world domination.

After surviving what she calls a “seminal moment” in her life when a 35,000 lbs. semi-tractor-trailer truck “T-Boned” her vehicle which flew airborne 150 feet was then followed by a long, arduous recovery. Ms. Frangos abandoned her former life of “hard” business and gone back to her roots, The Arts; “It was a coming-home for me”. This included selling her 5 bedroom home and nearly every personal possession she owned, distilling her life down to the bare, critical essentials. “This less-is-more act of performing a “personal dialysis” afforded me the “space” in me for true creativity”. Having an instinctual draw for building large-scale, intellectually driven conceptual installation art and pushing the proverbial “societal-envelope”, functioning as a full-time artist was a natural puddle jump.

“I knew since 2007 or 2008 I wanted to fully leave the world of business and return to my artistic origin. Whether it was high-stakes deal-making or day-to-day business, it was often a banal existence ruminating on the most pedestrian of thought-processes. Whilst I am passionate about entrepreneurship, I am choosing to pursue projects steeped in The Arts, especially what is understood as “The Immaterial Arts” as there is literally no potential commerce resulting from the effort.”

Minimizing possession-bloat, she lives in a 500 sq foot artist loft with the apple of her eye, Miles a 12 year old Rhodesian Hound Mix who body and board surfs.
