Arkansas’ Design Star

HGTV’s Design Star will enter its fifth season this Sunday and Arkansas will be well represented. Dan Faires is an independent contractor originally from Springdale, AR. He will compete this season along with 11 other contestants for the coveted prize of having his own design show . Faires has a bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Arkansas, and says his love for design stems from working with his father on their family home and watching HGTV. After witnessing the damage of hurricane Katrina first hand in Mississippi, he rekindled his love for building and design. To see his rustic creations, catch Arkansas’ own Dan Faires’ national debut Sunday June 13 at 10pm/9pm Central on HGTV.
