Tera Hampton from "Design Star" is one of the contestants in Season 5 of the interior design reality competition series on HGTV. Self-taught designer Tera ("Design Star 5") is a self-proclaimed "Dumpster Diva" and wants to make design accessible to everyone. She is from Austin, Texas, and is 41 years old.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Tera Hampton calls herself "the quintessential all-American Texas girl," and, as the daughter of a high school football coach, says she understands the seriousness of competition. Tera, who says she plays to win, owns a successful design business that specializes in home staging, color consultation and interiors. She characterizes her approach to design as "taking what you have and making it better," and often spends little or no money to create great designs by rearranging items her clients already own. This married mother of three says she has a strong faith in God, family and community and enjoys using her skills to help those in need because it "feels good to make a difference."
