Vern Yip is one of the judges on the reality design competition, "HGTV Design Star."
 
One room at a time, Vern Yip is designing his way across America, having knocked down walls and made over countless homes and restaurants during his four seasons on two design television shows as well as through his private practice. Vern Yip is now spreading the word on digital home makeovers through AOL and promoting the designs of Stainmaster carpet, Moen faucets and Procter & Gamble's Bella & Birch Division

and the integration of high-end electronics through Best Buy's new Magnolia store concept. Vern Yip's most recent projects include his return as a judge on the exciting second season of "HGTV Design Star," in which he'll help discover America's next great design talent. In addition, Vern Yip will star in his own HGTV show, "Deserving Design." Also in the works is his new home product line with a nationally well-known company. Whatever Vern Yip does, his award-winning work has a distinct flair that reflects his expertise as both an architectural and interior designer.

Vern Yip runs his own design company in Atlanta, Vern Yip Designs, where design tips are dispensed and top-quality products, designed by Vern with consumer value in mind, can be purchased. With a bachelor of arts in economics and a bachelor of science in chemistry from The University of Virginia and an M.B.A. and master of architecture from The Georgia Institute of Technology, Vern Yip has used his varied educational background to build a distinguished business. Vern Yip's creations and room transformations range in budget from the notoriously frugal showcased on television to eight-figure projects for high-end clients nationwide, including special event design for one of 2006's highest-profile Oscar parties. Regardless of the budget, his design calling card is his attention to detail married with precise, clean-lined interiors balanced with a sense of warmth. Many elements of Vern Yip's creations and eclectic style demonstrate an influence from childhood travels throughout Asia, Latin America and Europe. Often with Vern Yip's designs, less is more and something in the room always "pops" because of its graphic nature.



Having characterized himself as the classic overachiever, Vern Yip and his projects have amassed an impressive list of design awards including the 2003 Distinguished Southerner Award, Southern Living magazine; 2000 Southeast Designer of the Year; Fusebox Restaurant, Atlanta, 1999 Best New Restaurant; and DeuxPlex Bistro and Night Club, Atlanta, 1999 Best New Night Club. In addition, Vern Yip has been prominently featured in various publications such as Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times and USA Today. Vern Yip is frequently seen on television shows such as Today, The Early Show, Oprah, CNN and Live! With Regis and Kelly.

My husband and I love watching your show in previous seasons and we loved them however, this time we feel there is no quality in the contestants what happened? One of my favorities is Candice I can't imagine what is going through her head. We feel you should send everyone home and start a new show.
