Jeff Lewis is a prominent interior designer and house flipper, best known for his appearances on Bravo reality shows Flipping Out and Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis. These programs follow his efforts to transform interior spaces while also addressing the personal and relational challenges of his clients, particularly couples facing domestic strain.
Born on March 24, 1970, in Orange County, California, Jeff Lewis experienced a nomadic childhood due to his father's work in real estate. His father, Tom Lewis, was a commercial property investor, which required the family to move frequently.
Lewis attended Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, graduating in 1988. He pursued higher education at Chapman University, where he studied pre-law and political science, earning his degree in 1993.
While still in college, Lewis took an early interest in real estate investment. His first endeavor involved purchasing a condominium to renovate and resell for a profit. Unfortunately, he lost his $3,500 investment. Undeterred, he made another attempt after graduation—this time buying and flipping a house that earned him over $35,000 in profit. This success marked the beginning of his professional real estate career as a licensed agent.
By 1999, Lewis had transitioned into real estate speculation, successfully flipping numerous properties, particularly in the Hollywood area. His talent for transforming homes for resale gained widespread attention, leading to the launch of his reality TV career. In 2007, he began starring in Bravo's Flipping Out, which showcased both his design expertise and his dynamic personality.
Around this time, he also founded his own firm, Jeff Lewis Design, offering high-end interior design services. His entrepreneurial efforts extended to retail when he introduced a furniture and home décor line on QVC.
