Christopher Lowell

As an Emmy Award-winning host and best selling author, Christopher Lowell’s mix of practical advice and infectious enthusiasm has made him one of America’s most recognized and trusted authorities in the home improvement category. Dubbed the Doctor of Design by U.S News & World Report, and whose 7 Layer system has been embraced by the Oprah team, Christopher believes that decorating is a form of empowerment therapy and that his mantra, “You Can Do It” is a way of life. The success of his ever growing multi-media company proves that Christopher has made a loyal connection to how America wants to live now and in the future. Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Christopher Lowell was destined for creative greatness. Son of a professional carpenter and cinematographer father and a mother who constantly worked to make a nice home on a limited budget, Christopher was raised in an artistic and fun-loving environment. Trained as a classical pianist, Christopher left home at age 9 to join the Southern California Boys Choir where he played until the age of 17. Christopher tried his hand at acting and was a self-proclaimed “starving artist” throughout the 1970s. Eventually realizing that his talent was more useful off-stage, Christopher started designing everything from entire sets to individual costumes for numerous stage productions in both New York City and theaters across the country. With his eye for drama and his creative flair, Christopher decided to take his skills to the corporate world, where he successfully developed and created award-winning television and print ad campaigns for a variety of companies. In 1992, Christopher opened the doors to his first home arts center in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. For the next four years he taught, encouraged and inspired average people to take charge of their lives and design dilemmas with his winning “you can do it” attitude. His ambition to reach more people drove Christopher to produce 10 years of programming for the Discovery Channel which included Interior Motives with Christopher Lowell, Wall to Wall and The Christopher Lowell Show for which he won an Emmy. In addition, Christopher was the host of Work That Room with Christopher Lowell on the Fine Living Network, a part of the Scripps Howard family of networks which also includes HGTV.
