Erinn Valencich

Born and raised among Northern California's expansive and abundant farmlands, Erinn Valencich is use to broad horizons and infinite possibilities. Early exposure to home design launched Valencich on a professional journey that has made her one of the most busy and versatile young designers working today.

Valencich began her career working with Susie Coelho, assisting the lifestyle guru with a number of projects, including two bestselling books, Everyday Styling and Styling for Entertaining. This business acumen combined with Valencich's own great taste and high-spirited style is the basis of her growing success. She became a master of presentation, creating beautiful environments and entertaining effortlessly.

Her taste and passion for fine living, as well as her ebullient personality led to appearances on Extra!, The View, HGTV and the Fine Living Channel. In 2005, she launched Omniarte Design, a multi-faceted umbrella for her multiplicity of design projects. She has built a dynamic and in-demand design practice, designing homes, ranging in size and character from an urbane pied-a-terre in the Bay Area to a Bel Air mansion.

In addition to her residential work, Valencich has also designed a VIP lounge for Extra! on Oscar night, decorated Antonio Sabato Jr.'s home for an enchanted family Christmas, designed a jungle-themed nursery for Jaime Pressly's newborn son, Dezi, and transformed the set of Jennifer Love Hewitt's hit TV series, Ghost Whisperer into a paradise of chocolate and roses for a Valentine's Day party.

Eager to accept bigger projects, she is already at work designing her first nightclub and hopes to design a boutique hotel as well. Ultimately, Valencich would like to partner with a real estate developer to create an entire community with her style and flair. She is also working with Celebrity Licensing to launch a line of tabletop accessories and holiday decorations and will eventually add pillows, bedding and furniture.

Valencich lives in a 1930s Spanish-style house in the Hollywood Hills. Her lifestyle embodies the causally elegant, indoor/outdoor life that most of her clients desire. An avid cook, she has turned the once cramped and dingy kitchen into a chef's dream; under her care, the garden thrives. She loves to explore the hills and hiking trails around Lake Hollywood with her yellow Lab, Brady. In addition to all her exciting design and television projects, she is busy planning her wedding to mortgage broker, Jon Grauman.
