Meet the Mavens

Allison Fishman

Allison's passion is helping people enjoy food and cooking. As the founder of The Wooden Spoon, a private cooking school, she usually teaches cooking one-on-one. She shows people not only how to cook, but also new organization ideas for their kitchens and new tastes for their families. She does all of this while making sure that cooking is fun for everyone involved.

Allison honed her skills working with some of the biggest names in the home cooking business. She's written for Cooking Light and provided recipes for many cookbooks, national magazines and newspapers. She developed and edited five cookbooks for Dr. Robert Atkins, and created original recipes for the South Beach Diet.

She was a member of the test kitchen team and television show for Everyday Food Magazine. After graduating from Cornell University, Allison received a culinary degree from the Institute for Culinary Education in New York. Before concentrating on home cooking, she worked in marketing and spent many years working in restaurants.

Nadia Geller

Nadia loves to bring her funky style into people's homes. She aims to inspire her audiences to translate their signature style into comfortable, livable homes.

Nadia came to Home Made Simple from the Midwest, with an important stopover as featured designer for While You Were Out on TLC. On this hit TV show, Nadia garnered a reputation for understanding what the show's guests wanted in their dream space — then making it a reality. She has proven she can create out-of-the-box, creative solutions, which she combines with her Midwestern, can-do attitude.

Nadia got her start when she demanded full creative control decorating her bedroom ... when she was four. She's picked up a love for new looks and designs, while holding onto a deep respect for what's come before. With her no-nonsense style, she creates magical spaces that people love.

Patrick Brown

Patrick loves to help people create the homes they love to live in. A handyman in every sense, he shows viewers common sense solutions to some common home problems. His favorite job, however, is showing people that they're capable of doing more in their homes than they may think they can.

He graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor of arts in sociology, where he also studied percussion and was a trained drummer. He started working in sales and corporate branding for a general contractor in Raleigh, North Carolina before launching his own general contracting company.

Patrick first brought his innovative problem solving skills to television as the general contractor on the TLC show Town Haul. As a general contractor, he has helped families with small fix-it jobs as well as completed major renovations, and he brings that wealth of experience to Home Made Simple.
