Discovery+ is back with a new home-renovation show called High Design. Moreover, the show is set to introduce cannabis queen Kim Myles as the host.. The series is set to premiere on April 13, 2022.

With a deep knowledge of marijuana and also her expertise in home-renovation, Kim Myles will be taking charge of cannabis trouble in the houses featured on the show. Moreover, Myles is an Emmy-winning designer, host, hairstylist, and speaker.

The official synopsis of the show reads:
