Jennifer Bertrand, the season three champion of HGTV Design Star, is ready to showcase her unique design skills for HGTV audiences, on-air and online. She hosts Paint-Over! with Jennifer Bertrand, a one-hour special devoted to her specialty of decorative painting, as well as demonstrate her creative paint techniques in ten original HGTV.com videos. Jennifer also will appear in HGTV Showdown, an intense design duel in which teams of top HGTV designers battle for victory in head-to-head design competitions.

Raised in a military family, Jennifer spent her childhood moving to different Air Force bases around the world. She says her passion for design began when she saw her mother "magically" transform their modest surroundings into an elegant environment each time they moved. The years she spent living abroad further shaped her love of design, offering her inspiration throughout Europe, from decorative grand palaces to rustic outdoor antique markets. After teaching art in elementary schools in Italy and Kansas, Jennifer, along with her English husband, Chris, now own a design business in Olathe, Kansas. She views herself as a talented artist with a bubbly personality and says she loves to inspire others to enjoy the design process.
