Our Design Star Season 6 cast critique continues with Miami designer, Mark Diaz, and I’m getting more and more psyched about the upcoming season after checking out his portfolio! I now have five finalists on my list of faves…you can see why:
This makes two Season 6 finalists who’ve featured a row of Ikea vintage-styled frames in their portfolio (Doug Hines used them in a restaurant dining room). Gawd bless Ikea. This room is extravagant but fun. I imagine four X-Rays sitting in the chairs.
Another crazy light fixture! This chandelier’s made out of brass knuckles–would you ever have guessed?? Love the idea of something associated with violence being turned into something that feels delicate and bubbly.
MARK DIAZ ON A BUMPER STICKER: Mark’s wheelhouse seems to be bold, dramatic design, which is exactly what you need in a television designer. His portfolio rates right up there for me, so could we have a 5-way tie? I’m anxious to see if he has on-camera charisma.
Coming soon: We’ll check out Chicago finalist Meg Caswell!
