Not to mention her experience renovating her own stunning homes shared with wife Portia de Rossi. Here's what we know so far about Ellen DeGeneres' Next Great Designer.
'Anyone who knows me knows that I love furniture,' Ellen beams in the trailer. 'That's why I've created my very own furniture design competition.
'This show is going to blow people's minds.'
The competition will see seven talented designers compete for $100,000. Contestants will battle it out in studios across the US. They'll be under time immense pressure, producing some seriously out-there designs.
In New York City we have Christina Z. Antonio, Arielle Assouline-Lichten, and Erica Sellers competing for the $100,000 prize. There's also Alejandro Artigas in Los Angeles, Mark Grattan in New Hope, PA, Paul Jeffrey in Phoenix, AZ, and Urvi Sharma in Providence, RI.
There are lampshades, tables, fireplaces, all reimagined by the designers in a bid to impress the judges.
