From a journalist to television news investigative reporter to being featured on HGTV’s Unfinished Business as a host & designer, Shay Holland displays her passion for interior design.
Shay developed a love for design alongside her father. From a young age, Shay spent countless hours in her dad’s basement workroom learning to sand, stain, and restore antiques and barn sale finds to mix in with pieces he’d bring back from his tours of duty. Her father’s legacy lives on through her hard work ethic, creating something mundane into an adventure.
Shay honed skills in building houses with Habitat for Humanity, managing a design showroom, and taking night classes to earn her contractor’s license. Shay loves working with her hands and the idea of exploring the world from a living room.
