Our Story

The Story Behind The Number

It all started the day I moved off to college and into dorm room 329 (in fact, the only dorm room I ever lived in, for 2 years). I had no idea what to expect and no idea who my roommate was. I was about to start my life in an overpriced 11’x17’ dorm room and knew I had to figure out a way to pay for it. 


I had a goal of making money while in college balancing my studies and social life but was not exactly sure how it was going to happen. 

 I looked at my dorm room as a blank canvas and knew it needed to be covered in motivational décor to encourage me to get through my academics. 

I started painting canvases, clipping magazines to make collages, and accenting light strands to make the place feel at home. Little did I know that people would be interested in buying this decor and 329 Dorm Décor was born. 

Today, 329 Dorm Décor has matured to Three Twenty Nine Co. and still upholds the same purposes as it started with: 

Motivate others to fulfill their dreams through décor

Provide handcrafted products that typically are not seen on the market

Create opportunities to assist dreamers to gain experience

Celebrate life’s biggest moments 

The heart + hands behind it all.

The heart + hands behind Three Twenty Nine Co just happen to belong to me, Emily B. I have had my head in the clouds ever since the day I was born and decided to do something about it, so here we are.

Just an Ohio native, horse girl, rookie skier, post-grad-debt survivor trying to make it in this small business world by decorating some grad caps and inspiring others to follow their dreams as well.

Somethings I enjoy:

Making things look unique yet professional 

Photographing and capturing memories

Constructing encouraging words

Building confidence by getting out of my comfort zone
 
Providing opportunities for others to build themselves
 
Creating products to encourage others 
 
Being outdoors, skiing, hiking, biking, and kayaking.

Fun facts only a few know:

My biggest motivation is to pay off my student loans… this decade
 
I will own my very own horse one day. I guess you can say I am pretty goal-driven. 
 
My favorite color is gray, but turquoise is a close second.
 
I enjoyed making my grad cap so much I ripped it apart and remade it the next day. 
 

Three Twenty Nine’s Special Touch

Our graduation cap decorations are digitally hand designed with a dash of luck. Each design is one of a kind and is completely original.
