About Million Dollar Baby Co.

Million Dollar Baby Co. started in 1990 and is proudly family-owned and operated in Los Angeles. Since then, MDB has grown to 7 distinct brands of children’s furnishings ranging in style, aesthetic, and price, while carrying some of the industry’s most eco-conscious and award-winning designs. We can be found in retailers like Target and Amazon, and specialty retailers like Pottery Barn Kids and Crate & Barrel.

Under the Million Dollar Baby Co. parent company are our family of brands: Babyletto, daVinci, Nursery Works, and Namesake. We’re proud to offer the most Greenguard Gold–certified cribs on the market and to use FSC-certified sustainable wood across our brands whenever possible. We’ve also pioneered Styrofoam-free packaging for several of our best-selling collections — an innovation that reduces waste while protecting our products during shipment.

At Million Dollar Baby Co., our team members are our #1 priority, and we partner with exceptional partners and retailers around the world who share our core values:

• Treat Your Team Like Family — lead with respect, gratitude, empathy, and kindness.

• Make an Impact, Drive Results — focus on meaningful work that moves families forward.

• Deliver a “Wow” Customer Experience Every Time — every detail matters.

• Strive for Continuous Improvement & Learning — keep growing, keep getting better.

• Cultivate Quality Conversations — communicate honestly and thoughtfully to build trust.

Over the years, our commitment to people, innovation, and a positive workplace culture has earned us five consecutive “Best Place to Work” awards, one of the best workplaces by “Built in LA”, a 4.6 rating on Glassdoor, and 13 years on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list — recognitions that reflect the heart of who we are and the community we’re proud to build. We’d love to talk to you!

About the Role

We're investing in soft goods as a growth category and bringing on a designer who can lead it from the front. You'll design original soft goods across bedding, cushions, soft toys, draperies, and rugs for all six of our brands, with a primary focus on Babyletto and Namesake. These two brands have distinct aesthetics, and you'll need to be comfortable designing across both.

Like our three existing product designers, you'll be expected to work across a wide design spectrum, adapting your visual sensibility to fit each brand's identity without losing your own design instincts. Most of what you'll build is designed from scratch. You'll own it from concept through production-ready handoff.

You'll report directly to our Senior Design Manager, Matthew Grayson, and collaborate closely with product development, sourcing, sales and brand teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

Design original kids bedding from concept to production-ready tech packs as well as other soft goods including blankets, quilts, decorative pillows, draperies, and rugs.
Develop and adapt designs across all six MDB Co. brands, with a primary focus on Babyletto, Namesake, and DaVinci.
Build and maintain tech packs including construction details, material call-outs, colorways, trims, and tolerances.
Select and specify textiles, fills, hardware, and trims in collaboration with our sourcing team.
Work directly with overseas manufacturing partners in Asia, reviewing samples and communicating revisions clearly and precisely.
Develop seasonal color palettes and surface patterns that align with each brand's creative direction.
Stay current on soft goods trends in baby, nursery, and home categories and bring relevant insights to the team.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product development, brand marketing, and merchandising to move products from concept to shelf.
Manage multiple projects simultaneously and hit deadlines without needing to be chased.

What You Bring to the Table

Required

8+ years of experience designing kids bedding, soft goods for the home, baby/nursery, or a closely adjacent category.
