Bobby’s Early Years
From Missouri to Texas to Denver, Bobby grew up quickly and was driven to pursue his passion for interior design. He settled in New York (for 20 years) and immersed himself in the retail world. Working his way up in companies like Bed Bath & Beyond and Restoration Hardware, his determination, specific creative eye, and love for people earned Berk the title of Creative Director for Portico Home + Spa.
In 2006, Berk started his own company and opened his first showroom in lower Manhattan the following year. After relocating to Los Angeles in 2015, he launched his full-service bespoke interior design practice for residential, commercial, and hospitality clientele.
Queer Eye
In addition to the rapid growth of the Bobby Berk brand, his Netflix show Queer Eye premiered in 2018 and was nominated for 35 Emmy Awards and won 11, including Outstanding Structured Reality Program in 2023, for which Bobby took home his first Emmy. As the resident designer on the show and a member of the Fab Five, Bobby helped bring change to people’s lives starting within their homes and taught them that a happy home can mean a happy life. Queer Eye was among the most popular shows on Netflix and aired in more than 190 countries.
Junk or Jackpot?
In December 2025, Bobby’s new show, ‘Junk or Jackpot?’ premiered on HGTV as a Top 10 most-viewed program. In the series, he helped homeowners with massive collections get organized – and use their valuable items to help finance a life-changing home renovation.
When Bobby is not filming, he spends his time in Los Angeles, where he resides with his husband, Dewey, and dog, Bimini.
