A modern day maven who believes in the power of the human spirit and the endless potential we all posses. Didiayer is a television host, motivational speaker, and author.
Today Didiayer teaches others how to build a healthy self-esteem, UpLevel Happiness, and be unshakable as a modern day entrepreneur.
Didiayer may be known for strutting the catwalk in designs by the likes of Badgley Mischka, Randolph Duke and Roberto Cavalli, but her stunning exterior has certainly never out shined her inner intelligence and enthusiasm for life.
Having worked as a model since her teens, this leggy Aussie quickly found herself on designer runways within weeks of her arrival.
"Modeling gave me a platform to explore the world," explains Didiayer (phonetically pronounced dee-dee-air), "I loved walking the runway for designers and working with photographers, but most of all I really enjoyed meeting people in the various towns and villages. I'd encounter different cultures and would immerse myself in them, and learn about the surrounding environmental issues. That's what really held my attention - and it still does, even more so today."
Indeed, the environment has held Didiayer's attention for some time. Back home in Australia, it was custom to go "walkabout" and learn how to "live off the land." Didiayer became highly skilled in "bushman's law" and eco-travel. Building shelters, finding drinking water, and cooking dampa (Australian camp bread) became the foundation on which she first developed her love for the planet. "When you spend time truly living off the land, you gain more respect for it. It was a natural step for me to want to support it. As I educated myself more about the things we humans do to harm the planet, I knew I had to step up."
Didiayer has been supporting the environment by helping others in need. A longtime volunteer with Habitat For Humanity, Didiayer has contributed her carpentry skills and knowledge of sustainable living to communities all across the nation. In 2008, she was their national ambassador and worked alongside construction companies to build 280 energy efficient homes in a week. When it comes to helping people get in touch with the environment, she uses her professional organizational skills (she is a member of NAPO and the NSGCD) and educates homeowners on how to live an environmentally conscious clutter-free life.
After studying carpentry and interior decorating at Ashworth University, and becoming a licensed home inspector, Didiayer had the good fortune to land a gig as the fun-loving hostess on the Travel Channel's, Amazing Vacation Homes. What more could an apprentice carpenter ask for than the opportunity to travel the globe and explore well-crafted homes while interviewing top notch architects like Obie Bowman, Steven Holl, and Brian Mackay-Lyons.
"When I look back over my career, I have to say that Amazing Vacation Homes was one of my favorite shows. Not only did I get to travel to different countries, I got to meet some incredible architects. I definitely have a soft spot for architecture and design."
Since her Travel Channel days, Didiayer has gone on to work on many top television programs here in the United States. From The Nate Berkus Show on NBC, as Nates "go-to-gal," the home organizer on Giuliana & Bill on E! Entertainment, the creative designer on The Marie Osmond Show, the beloved designer on the Emmy Award winning show Home Made Simple, on Emmy Award winning show Clean House on the Style Network & Esquire Network as the designer who helps hoarders stay they course of home function, to the Emmy Award winning program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on ABC & CMT as the compassionate designer who pours her heart and soul into each build, to her successful travel series, At Home With Didiayer and Abroad With Didiayer. Didiayer has certainly created a name for herself and shared her array of skills on and off screen.
