"Cheryl will be the first lady of Canadian television!"  say Home Heist stars Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan

BIOGRAPHY

Interior designer, Cheryl Torrenueva has a lot to boast about (not that she ever would)…Her chic look and keen eye for design have made her a hot commodity in the world of television design! She graduated with a Bachelor of Interior Design from Ryerson University and she could have never predicted what was yet to come.

On a whim she entered HGTV's Superstar Challenge, made it to the finals and the rest is TV history. Known as the “Posh Spice” of the design world, Cheryl had no problem landing gig after gig on hit shows like HGTV's Home To Go, Rooms That Rock and Food TV's Restaurant Makeover. In between shows, Cheryl has worked behind the scenes creating signature looks as the art director for HGTV's Disaster DIY, Design Interns and both seasons of SLICE's Superstar Hair Challenge. And to top it off, she has been a guest design contributor for SLICE's Three Takes, CITY TV's Cityline, Style at Home.ca, HGTV.ca “Design Dilemmas” and co-hosted the first web-series Model Home Showdown for HGTV.ca.

But her big break came when she was chosen to be the feisty on-camera Design Project Manager for HGTV's uber-successful Colin & Justin's Home Heist. “When we got her audition tape, it was a slam dunk!” explains Michelle Kosoy, production executive for Home Heist. And it is no surprise that Colin & Justin themselves, feel the same: “Cheryl will be the first lady of Canadian television!” they say when asked about their femme-fatale co-host. 

Cheryl is a radiant on-air presence and an absolutely fierce design talent; so it's no surprise that she been commissioned to host pilot episodes for HGTV USA and to have her work featured on The Rachel Ray Show. With years of experience under her belt, she is now a contributing design producer on the highly anticipated HGTV US series, Secrets From A Stylist.
