Art Institute Design Graduate Finds Success!

Cecil Hayes has built her firm 'Cecil's Designers Unlimited' with honesty, integrity, and a stellar portfolio. As an Art Institute graduate Cecil has attracted the likes of celebrities such as actor-director Wesley Snipes, actor Samuel L. Jackson, NFL defensive back Ty Law, NBA players P.J. Brown and Jamaal Mashburn and music mogul Tim "Timbaland" Mosley. Most recently Cecil Hayes has published her new book on interior design, 9 Steps to Beautiful Living: Dream, Design, Decorate Your Home with Style.

The impetus for writing the book came in 2000, when Ebony magazine called to offer her a column on interior design."Once the editor said I needed to write a book because what was in there [the column] helped people, that was it!'' Hayes' book explains the steps or ''game plan'' she uses as a professional to achieve a cohesive interior. 'It's not a 'how to' book, it's a why to book. A how-to is like your parents telling you to do this or that; once you understand the why of something, it becomes a part of your own intellect. It's a tremendous difference. What I do in every chapter is give a why."

Besides being published extensively in Florida publications, her work has also been featured in Architectural Digest magazine's Top 100.
