But who is the woman at the center of this fascinating new series?
“I’m both Mexican American and Native American and very proud of my cultures,” she toldHGTV.
Her own personal journey to better understand her roots inspired “Revealed.”
“A lot of research goes into each project.”
“From an early age, I loved design,” she toldHGTV.
Her parents encouraged her interest, allowing her to undertake makeovers of various rooms in the family’s home.
“My father would come home from work and all of the rooms were switched,” she shared.
“He was always cool with it.”
When she was a teenager, a friend enrolled her in a design program without telling her about it.
Valencia began attending those lessons, and quickly found herself hooked.
“After a few classes, I became obsessed,” she shared with HGTV.
“I would stay up all night working on presentations.”
Shortly after graduating from design school, she landed a job as an assistant to designer Jill Wolff.
“Like my parents, she let me soar creatively,” Valencia added.
“As a result, Lauren was offered a job working for Hemmis as her assistant.
“I got the position and was told I would have to be on an airplane in a week.
I’d never been on an airplane before!”
“On the show, we were a tight-knit, behind-the-scenes design team,” she recalled.
“We’d come into communities and take over a town.
We worked on more than 1,000 projects in 34 states.”
“I was just a baby,” she said.
“People were always like, ‘Find the girl with the hat!’
Now they’re just my thing,” she explained.
When it comes to those chapeaus, her hands-down favorites come from designer Janessa Leone.
“I’m like, ‘Kris, it’s Janessa Leone time!'”
As she put it onInstagram, “I had the guts to ask for my own show.”
“This episode was HUGE one!”
she wrote, praising the teams for their hard work and creativity.
She also appeared as a judge in the series’ seventh episode, “Behind the Battle.”
“We had so much fun judging on this one!”
Veronica wrote onInstagram, recalling her experience on the show.
Other than those two on-camera appearances, the rest of her experience with HGTV has been behind the scenes.
I Wrecked My House.”
For Veronica, however, the opposite is true.
“Everything needs to be done yesterday and working under pressure is my [specialty].”
“I married my best friend, my business partner, and my life partner.
I have no words for the ceremony.”
“THE best decision I ever made,” Valencia wrote of marrying Hughes.
One of these was Ali Fedotowsky, who starred in the sixth season of"The Bachelorette."
AsMyDomainerecalled, Ali and her husband Kevin Manno enlisted Veronica to redesign their home.
“I kept saying, ‘I want it more Joanna Gaines!'”
“It’s not about rules.
It’s about living with what you love the most, all captured in one space.”
“I’m forever inspired by nature,” she explained.
“I always tell my clients to keep an open mind.”
Not surprising, considering Ali’s baby arrived shortly before the project was completed.
“That way, you might determine the must-have items and find pieces with sentimental value too.”
“All of the colorful toys will naturally bring in some character.”
