Alexi Panos

Home improvement and design come naturally to Alexi Panos, host of HGTV’s Run My Makeover.

Her desire to pursue carpentry and design began when she was a young girl, as she watched her father build her childhood home. Fascinated by the construction process, Alexi was on-site every day after school, helping her father select everything from cabinets to carpets. Alexi’s mother, who bought homes to refurbish and sell, instilled a love of interior design in Alexi by showing her how small changes can give new life to an old space.

Alexi, who became known as a "design guru" to her friends, says she is ready to tackle any design dilemma in her new series.
