Vern Yip

Architectural and Interior Design Expert

One room at a time, Vern Yip has designed his way across America – knocking down walls and making over countless homes and restaurants during his four seasons on TLC’s “Trading Spaces,” on NBC’s “Home Intervention” and within his private practice. Vern has spread the word on digital home makeovers through AOL, and he has worked hand-in-hand with companies such as Microsoft, Stainmaster Carpet, Procter & Gamble and Kraft. Vern recently added AT&T to the list, assisting with the launch of the new AT&T U-verse Wireless Receiver. In addition to Vern’s impressive clientele, his HGTV projects include his own show, “Deserving Design with Vern Yip;” the upcoming seventh season of the exciting prime-time series, “Design Star;” and the second year of  “Urban Oasis.” Whatever he does, Vern’s award-winning work has a distinct flair that reflects his expertise as both an architectural and interior designer.

Vern runs his own design company in Atlanta, Vern Yip Designs, and his expertise is available to the masses on his website, vernyip.com. Regardless of the budget, Vern’s design calling card is his attention to detail married with precise, clean-lined interiors balanced with a sense of warmth. In 2012, Vern’s design work will expand to include a new frame and home accessories line for the Burnes Company, which will be distributed to retail venues nationwide. His own signature brand, Vern Yip Home, will continue to grow at the Home Shopping Network.

Vern has been featured in various publications, such as Entertainment Weekly, People, The New York Times and USA Today. He is frequently seen on television shows, including NBC’s “Today”, CBS’ “The Early Show”, “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, CNN and “Live! with Regis and Kelly.”
