Emily Fazio
I caught the home improvement bug at an early age, and now I'm a full-time DIYer living in Rochester, NY. The projects I cover on my blog Merrypad range from decorating to demolishing. If I’m not covered in sawdust, I’m coated in stain, so it’s only natural that I landed at DIYNetwork.com.

Jill Werderitch
Jill Werderitch is a search engine guru and trend forecaster who tracks design, gardening, DIY and travel trends for HGTV, DIY Network, Travel Channel and Great American Country. She believes that creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with your hands keeps you happy. There is no such thing as garbage: every cork and container is an upcycle waiting to happen. Always on the lookout for a craft or recipe amazing enough to please her precocious young daughter, Ani, there isn’t anything she won’t try to make once.

Kelly Smith Trimble
I grow vegetables wherever I can find enough sunlight and forage roadsides and hiking trails for plants that can be used to make natural dyes. You can find both vintage and new-fangled versions of craft machinery, from sewing machines to letterpress, in my home studio, which I share with Derek, my design-junkie husband. A certified master gardener, I continue my mother’s tradition of constantly searching for four-leaf clovers and have been a home and garden editor for 13 lucky years.
