Cecilia Gunning Interior Design

History

Cecilia Gunning enjoyed a successful career in information technology (IT) marketing, while spending more and more of her non-working hours in design-related pursuits, eventually realizing that interior design was her true passion in life. Cecilia completed the Interior Design and Interior Architecture program (equivalent to a 4-year degree) at UC Berkeley Ext., during which time she received accolades from instructors and fellow students alike. Cecilia is a Certified Interior Designer (CID) in the state of California, which means in addition to the requisite education and work experience, she has passed a rigorous exam on construction systems, building code, sustainable design, lighting design, materials testing, business practices and ethics, and she has a stamp for permit/construction drawings required by most municipalities. Cecilia Gunning Interior Design was founded in January 2010.
