Dorothy Hayes was a graphic designer from Mobile, Alabama. After graduating from Cooper Union in 1967, she was determined to work professionally and become a respected designer. Different experiences led her to become a role model for people of color and create experiences to spotlight their work. In 1970, Dorothy organized the exhibition Black Artists in Graphic Communication, which profiled 49 young black designers. Dorothy founded her own studio, Dorothy’s Door. She worked for big corporate companies like AT&T and CBS Radio.
