Will Smith appears as a contestant in season two of the HGTV reality series Design Star. He is 31 years old and a native of Charlotte, North Carolina. He has earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and African-American Studies from the University of North Carolina, and works both as an entrepreneur and an interior designer. He believes that he should win due to his unique design style (which he dubs ‘creative originality’), and his ability to make the most of a minimal budget for a still-chic design. He says that a designer’s best friends are a digital camera, a clipboard and tape measure, and that his secret weapon is wood.
Amongst his other favorite styles are contemporary, transitional, and Afro-centric designs. He says that designers should be willing to utilize paint, while still saving up and avoiding having to spend too much money. His favorite designer is Clodagh, and his favorite room to design is a bedroom. He also claims to be capable of extreme multitasking, and his dream design project would be an entire yacht. His childhood dream was being able to fly, and he also considers himself highly spiritual. When he’s not at work, he enjoys traveling or spending time with his friends and family, and enjoys locations with scenic views and few people.
