 "San Antonio Home + Garden Show")
April Wilkerson
YouTube home improvement expert April Wilkerson has been called a Maker, a DIYer, a Woodworker and Metalworker. All are apt, but regardless of the label, April makes stuff that she wants or needs instead of buying it or hiring it out. It’s her goal to be able to look around her home and have a hard time finding something she didn’t make with her own two hands. And she’s coming to the San Antonio Home + Garden Show to inspire you to pick up a tool you didn’t think you could use and build something you didn’t think you could build.April started her blog in February of 2013, even though she had never used a power tool before. She didn’t grow up working on things, but she quickly learned.
Shortly after April started making things, she started putting together written tutorials on her website so that she could pass along information to anybody else that was interested. One thing led to another and a year later she started making video tutorials. She now puts together free tutorials on anything and everything she does. She sticks to building the things she wants or needs in her life, and she brings a camera along because sharing the information on how she completed a project has become just as big of an obsession as doing the actual projects.
April has also appeared on History Channel’s More Power with Tim (the Tool Man Taylor) Allen and Richard Karn where the trio hangs out in Tim’s workshop, putting all types of home improvement tools to the test.
April is a born and bred Texas girl who grew upon the south Texas coast and now lives in the beautiful Texas hills with a little herd of rescue animals and chickens.

Patric Richardson, The Laundry Guy
Before there was a TV show, and before there was a book, Patric Richardson loved laundry. When he was barely 3 years old, Santa brought him a toy washing machine, fueling a passion already inside him and presenting itself when he helped hang clothes on the clothesline or fold the sheets with his beloved Granny Dude.
As a child, he loved clothes, both wearing them and their care. Voted best dressed in 8th grade and in high school, the path was set. He studied Merchandising Apparel and Textiles at the University of Kentucky then left for an incredible career in luxury fashion at McAlpins, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. Time in these legendary stores taught him 2 major lessons, that incredible clothes are fun, and that all clothing, regardless of price can be cared for at home.
Opening his designer vintage store, Mona Williams, in 2013 Patric embarked on the next step in his journey. The store carried a small, but curated collection of fine laundry products, sparking the curiosity of the Minneapolis/St Paul community. This curiosity only grew when the Twin Cities newspaper, the Star Tribune, featured Patric and his love of laundering everything, from cashmere sweaters to tailored suits at home. This publicity completely changed his direction into the world of laundry and clothing care.
Patric started sharing his expertise at his much talked about, and often sold out, Laundry Camps, teaching people new and better ways to care for all of their apparel and home textiles. These camps sparked a revolution, prompting a book Laundry Love, now in its fourth printing and a television show, The Laundry Guy on HGTV and Discovery+. Patric has been featured in both local and national media including Live with Kelly and Ryan, the Washington Post, Better Homes and Gardens, Good Morning LA, the Wall Street Journal, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, The New York Times, WGN, Twin Cities Live, the Pioneer Press, GMA3, Martha Stewart Living, The Tamron Hall Show, and internationally with the BBC, The Globe and Mail and Die Welt.
Patric continues his love of laundry and home in St Paul MN with his partner and a very well cared for Lime tree.

Donna Moss - Award Winning Interior Designer and Patient Advocate
Donna Moss, affectionately known as the “Queen of Bling,” brings glamor and style to every space she decorates. Donna is an award-winning interior designer, former HGTV “Design Star” finalist and host of “Donna Decorates Dallas,” philanthropist, author and public speaker. She also lives with Graves’ disease and has become an advocate for others in the autoimmune disease community. 
Donna Moss - Award Winning Interior Designer and Patient AdvocateRenowned for her ability to ‘bling it all,’ Donna was working at a design show when she began to experience unusual anxiety and a racing heart rate. In the emergency room that day, Donna was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and subsequently learned of her risk for Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), a separate but related condition that requires different care. Aware that TED could damage her vision and appearance if left untreated, Donna has been monitoring her eye symptoms, including pain, irritation and dryness, ever since.
In addition to her traditional interior design work, Donna enjoys offering her talents to support charities such as A Wish with Wings and has served on the board of The Arts Council. Throughout her 30-year design career, Donna’s eye for high fashion and ability to bring the ‘wow factor’ to every luxury design she masterfully creates, has made her one of the most sought after and successful interior designers in Texas.
