Darren Keefe
Los Angeles-based designer Darren Keefe will make his HGTV debut on the network’s highly anticipated reboot of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson, slated to premiere in early 2020. Born in Northern Ireland to a long line of Irish craftsmen, Darren first developed his love for woodworking after building a Pinewood Derby Racer with his father as a child. As a teenager, Darren assisted local contractors on job sites where he learned the basics of building. When he moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, he continued his training by working alongside a general contractor specializing in kitchen and bathroom remodels. Over the years, Darren found himself inspired by the design process, which ultimately led to the birth of his Los Angeles-based design company, Drumcree Designs, in May 2017. His current client roster includes local businesses, prominent interior designers and celebrities who commission one of a kind, hand-crafted furniture pieces— requests ranging from welding to fine woodworking projects. Thrilled at the opportunity to showcase his artistry to a national audience, Darren looks forward to changing lives on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, one house/design at a time.
