About Mod Mom Furniture Founder, Kiersten Hathcock
Kiersten Hathcock, Founder and CEO of Mod Mom Furniture, left a marketing career with A&E and The History Channel in 2003 to spend more time with her kids and built an internationally-known furniture line out of her garage without any formal design know-how, carpentry experience, or start-up funding. After four years of building and selling 300+ kids’ furniture items, Kiersten braved ABC’s Shark Tank and won an investment deal, and—over the past 17 years—secured multiple licensing and manufacturing deals with US-based manufacturers.
Kiersten's designs have been featured in TV shows, People Magazine, New York Times, LA Times, and international design books. Her award-winning furniture designs have been sought after by celebrities, interior designers, and retailers from 17 different countries. Today, Kiersten is an author, TEDx speaker, entrepreneurial mentor, and the Chief Marketing Officer for Moonshot, a 23-year-old nonprofit that helps entrepreneurs across Arizona and beyond. She is currently working with TV and film producers in Los Angeles to adapt her recent memoir, Little Voices (Post Hill Press/Simon and Schuster), for film.
