About Trish

Trish Beaudet has been an interior designer for over 10 years. Having a passion and flair for design, she decided to pursue that passion and opened her own interior design business (Finishing Touches - Interiors by Design) in 2001. Within a very short amount of time, Trish built a wonderful reputation with her clients and her business flourished in residential and commercial design. Loving all things design, Trish would best describe her style as warm modern with a touch of glam. She believes every room should have an unexpected element and touch of whimsy. In designing for her clients, Trish does just that; designs for them and their lifestyles. Their spaces will always reflect their personality and taste, making their house truly their home.

Recognition

In 2008, Trish was chosen out of over 10,000 applicants to appear on HGTV'S Design Star. Praised highly for her on camera ability and natural hosting skills, Trish found herself placing third in the highly competitive competition. Being a part of the show not only solidified her passion for design, it also made Trish realize how much she enjoyed the television production process.

Since the show, Trish has worked with her local television station on various design segments for their news broadcast. She was asked by that same station to develop a concept for a five episode design show. Trish developed the Refined Design series that showcased the renovation process of a 10,000 square foot home. It aired locally in Michigan in 2010.

From Trish

"What I enjoy most about my work is being able to create spaces for my clients that suite them and their lifestyle and to create an environment that they love," says Beaudet. "It's an amazing feeling to see your client smile knowing you have created a space that reflects them and their personality; a space that they can truly enjoy by themself or with their family." "I took part in this season of HomeStretch because I love the fact that it gave me an opportunity to use my design talent to make a deserving family happy. I love what I do, I love all things design, so to be able to do what I love and do it for a family in need is absolutely priceless to me."
