I’m excited to share a moment I’ve been holding with deep gratitude—I had the honor of filming a TV pilot as one of the featured design experts for Room to Inspire, which aired earlier this year on MAX and Discovery+
The show explored how five everyday homeowners transformed a single room into something extraordinary: a garage into a home office, a carport into a tropical bar, a historic kitchen brought back to life. It was a joy to witness how design can reshape not just space—but identity and possibility.

I was humbled to be featured alongside an inspiring team: Cliff Fong, Emily Eerdmans, and Alice Kimm. The experience was surreal—a studio set, a hair and makeup team, my own workspace between filming—it was a completely new world for me. And yes, I brought all my signature hand gestures and expressive reactions with me! Let’s just say it was tough to get a screenshot where I wasn’t mid-gesture or mid-thought—but the passion was real.
Though the show wasn’t picked up for a full series—despite being an internal favorite with network executives—I remain incredibly proud of what we created. It was an honor to lend my voice to the project and share space with such thoughtful creatives. This was a first—and hopefully not a last.
