Poonam Moore, previously seen on Rico to the Rescue, is stepping into the spotlight as the designer for HGTV’s Smart Home Giveaway 2025. The one-hour special revealing the transformed home airs on Friday, April 4, at 7/6c.
Here’s the Lowdown: Moore will be featured in a special alongside host Mike Jackson (Married to Real Estate) on HGTV on April 4. She’s been secretly working on the designs for months, transforming a midcentury ranch home in San Antonio, TX, into a “sophisticated two-story stunner.” Fans can enter to win the home twice daily starting April 1.
What This Means Now: This is a major career move for Moore, who is relatively new to the HGTV scene, having appeared on Rico to the Rescue (which as far as we know will not be coming back) and 100 Day Hotel Challenge. She’s taking over the Smart Home design role from Tiffany Brooks.
The Bigger Picture: Moore, a general contractor and owner of Poonam’s By Design, is establishing herself as a rising star on HGTV. The Smart Home Giveaway is a high-profile project, giving Moore a great platform to present her design skills to a wide audience. HGTV describes the finished product as having a “breathtaking backyard”.
