Fariha Nasir is a self-taught designer, DIY expert, and host of Problem Spaces on Magnolia Network. 

She launched Pennies for a Fortune in 2019 while renovating her builder-grade Houston home, and has since grown it into a widely trusted platform for creative, approachable design.

With a background in Fine Art and a sharp editorial eye, Fariha brings depth and intentionality to every project—inviting her over 200K followers to see the beauty in the process, not just the before-and-after.

As a Pakistani immigrant, she uses her voice to advocate for representation, accessibility, and women’s empowerment in the home and design space. Her work is layered, personal, and deeply human—always rooted in the belief that great design should be within reach.
