Her trademark hair and big energy make Tiffany Pratt unforgettable. But her hands-on approach to design, and the care she has for her clients, make her irreplaceable. Tiffany fell in love with beautiful things at a young age when she would memorize every page of Vogue magazine. Today, that same appreciation for beauty has carried through into her day-to-day work. She sees exquisite in the unexpected, mixes old with new, merges elegant with liveable, and she lives and breathes her truth that "this can be beautiful". Tiffany hosts shows on HGTV and is a regular guest expert on CityTV's Cityline. She also recently released her first book: This Can Be Beautiful.
