Orlando grew up in Yosemite National Park, California, moved to the east coast for years, then returned to the west coast where he got his big break on Emily Henderson’s HGTV show “Secrets From a Stylist.” He is an interior designer,  the author of the humorous design book “Get It Together!,” the host of HGTV’s “Build Me Up,” a blogger (orlandosoria.com), and an Instagram addict (@mrorlandosoria). He currently resides in a gigantic ugly cabin that he plans to renovate room by room and one day dreams to get a dog to live in his big scary house with him.
