Gabrielle Omar: TV Career

Gabrielle Omar appeared on the eighth series of the popular business show The Apprentice (2012), making it to week 10 out of 12 before being fired by Sir Alan Sugar.

Since then, she has become a confident and famous face on our TV screens, including as a regular designer on DIY SIS and DIY SOS: The Big Build (2019-2021). In 2021, she became the presenter of HGTV’s Quick Little Builds, a programme which helps homeowners make the most of small spaces with a limited budget. The series involved Gabrielle assisting people in transforming things from horse boxes to tree houses to home offices and double-decker buses.

Gabrielle Omar: Architect

Gabrielle graduated from the University of Westminster in 2003 with an undergraduate degree in Architecture before completing a Masters in Computer Imagery in Architecture, followed by a Part II RIBA and Part III RIBA Diploma in Architecture, making her a registered chartered engineer.

In 2013, she launched ‘Tea With An Architect’, an initiative to help increase communication between architects and the community in an approachable way. The campaign, which lasted a year, saw over 6,000 architects approach over 400 locations around the UK to discuss what was expected of them and to help promote smaller firms.

Throughout her TV and campaigning career, she has worked on ‘Spot This Space’, her personal architecture and interior design company.

She has partnered with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to help overhaul the image of architects and to promote diversity in the industry, including for women. She is also passionate about promoting versatility as an architect to respect sustainability, climate change and economic crises.
