Cece DuBois

Charlie Myers was a master carpenter and a master builder. He was hired by Waite Phillips as the general contractor and project manager on the construction of the Philtower Building, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was designed by prize-winning architect Edward Buehler Delk (1885 – 1956) www.philtower.com.

Thelma Myers was a designer by birth. She was born with an innate sense of the aesthetic, and could walk into a room or look at a piece of furniture and tell you what to do with it, where the walls should be, what fabric should be used to enhance that chair … she “had” it. Charlie and Thelma were the parents to Bill Myers, also a designer and master builder. Cece (Myers) DuBois is the eldest granddaughter of Charlie and Thelma, and eldest daughter of Bill.

The summer following her tenth birthday Cece learned from Thelma to “sand with the grain.” From then on, on weekends and during summers, Cece stayed with her grandparents. She trailed Charlie and Thelma, stood in their shadows, listened to their design discussions, participated in the projects, and soaked up every detail.

Cece’s education included art scholarships to Monte Cassino, a girls’ college prep in Tulsa; an Alumni Development scholarship to Oklahoma State University; and decades of design projects, work experience, and continuing education classes. Cece has also won awards for her portrait work; she continues to do commission work.

Suffice it to say, the essence of design and a sense of the aesthetic “runs in the family.” Let DuBois Design Group prove it to you on your next design project.
