Camille Dettmore grew up on an organic farm in upstate New York, where she learned everything from cheese making to living close to the land. Farm life instilled in her a deep appreciation for hard work and for the idea that the quality of ingredients—or materials—truly matters. After college, her passion for the arts led her into television production, where she worked for many years. She eventually joined forces with her husband Zachary to help manage their growing renovation business, Dettmore Home Improvements, stepping in as Director of Operations. Her background in production and organization unexpectedly proved invaluable when the company began collaborating with This Old House. Today Camille helps guide both the operations and storytelling behind the company's work, blending creativity, organization, and a lifelong respect for craftsmanship. When she's not sending emails, Camille loves her gig as a mom, claims to have a running habit, and is always looking for a new excuse to go antiquing.
