Austin Coleman



 

One of the new faces of HGTV and the co-host of the new show, 'Fix Home First'. He is a skilled builder and woodworker who is passionate about incorporating unique custom pieces into each of his projects. A professional renovator now but Austin also has been a professional BMX biker since 1995, his favorite trick is 3 down whips. Austin has also been featured on the cover of 'Transworld BMX'. Not a lot of people know about his dog, Franklin, who is best buddies with Austin. Both of them go on hikes and BMX cruises. A native of California and a University of South California alumni, Austin loves his city and often goes on hikes to ogle at the beauty of his own state. Austin currently lives with his partner Raisa Kuddus, in Tustin, California. 

Raisa Kuddus



 

Raisa Kuddus is a painter, artist, and art director who sees the world through the lens of nature, and hence, it bleeds into everything she does. She believes that she developed this lens because her father was a microbiologist. Kuddus is pretty close to his family and often talks about her life and family on Instagram. In one of the posts, she talks about and celebrates a major life crisis that she and her family get over. Her mother who suffered three heart attacks suffered severe functional damage but soon after her mother received a healthy heart and underwent a successful operation.
Raisa also gushes about her queer sibling Noah Kuddus, who might also appear on the show. In one of Noah’s posts, the sibling hints at this possibility.



 

Anxiety and depression pull Kuddus down but she has learned to navigate through the ups and downs of life. Her artistic sense and language tell us that she will be the heart of ‘Fix Home First'. Raisa currently lives in Tustin, California with her partner Austin.
