She is a designer, educator and small business owner who joined the Board in January 2021, after nearly a decade of volunteering with FabMo. FabMo’s reclaimed bounty was the inspiration for her handmade jewelry and accessory business YellowRose. She enjoys working with and supporting other artisans as well as children, and is the founder of 3DKids Academy, which provides creative programs for young makers. Kathy does her best to incorporate FabMo‘s materials and the message of reuse and sustainability into all her personal and professional endeavors.

Secretary: Stephanie Goldman joined the board in January 2021 and currently serves as Secretary. She is also on the Marketing Committee, and is the primary face behind FabMo’s Instagram account and monthly Project of the Month tutorials. She first visited FabMo in 2011 and has been a frequent patron and volunteer ever since. Stephanie enjoys encouraging people to experiment, play, and learn through making things with their hands. She strongly believes that being creative is not a hobby, but a way of life, and that everyone has the ability to create amazing things — even those who say that they are not creative. 

Annie Wu joined the board in January 2024 and serves on the Digital Sales Committee, Artisans Market Committee, and Workshops Committee. She is a self-taught painter, sewist, and knitter. She enjoys making animal friends out of wool, cotton, and linen for friends and family, FabMo’s annual Artisans Market and most recently, the Mountain View Public Library Shop. Annie is very glad to contribute her time and skills to FabMo’s ongoing conservation efforts. She is keenly inspired by all the textiles and other materials that find their way to FabMo, as every week is a surprise. She recommends signing up for a volunteer shift at the warehouse to get a firsthand look!

Treasurer: Bron McInerney serves on FabMo’s board as Treasurer, and is chair of the Budget and Finance Committee. A volunteer for many years, she has been active on many committees. Currently FabMo store and eBay digital sales are her major focus. Bron is a keen sewer and artist and FabMo figures in both those endeavours. Originally from New Zealand, she has always been interested in textiles from her days as a weaving student. FabMo’s mission to interrupt the flow of discarded materials into the waste stream is of great importance to her.
