Early life

Yip went to high school in northern Virginia at McLean High School in the class of 1986. He originally set out with the goal of becoming a physician, as his parents felt it would be a good career for him. After earning two degrees, just prior to entering his pre-medicine program, he changed his mind, and decided to get into architecture.Cite web|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2007/09/12/2007-09-12_vern_yip_emphasizes_storytelling_on_dese.html|title= Vern Yip emphasizes storytelling on 'Deserving Design'|accessyear=2007|accessmonthday=September 13|publisher=New York Daily News|year=2007|author=Richard Huff|language=English] Yip states he would have been quite happy running a design company, and never intended to become a television personality, but he's very pleased with the new show, and he felt it was what he was meant to do.
