Job description

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design original softgoods from concept to production‑ready tech pack across bedding, blankets, cushions, soft toys, draperies, and rugs.
• Develop and adapt designs across all six MDB Co. brands, with a primary focus on Babyletto and Namesake.
• 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 softgoods 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

• 5+ years of experience designing softgoods for consumer products, home goods, baby/nursery, or a closely adjacent category.
• Expert‑level Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop skills. You use them daily to create original artwork and build clean, production‑ready technical drawings.
• Strong tech pack creation skills. You build complete packs from scratch, not from templates someone else made.
• Deep knowledge of textiles and materials including fabrics, fills, weaves, thread counts, trims, and how they behave in production.
• Experience with textile sourcing, including mill relationships, material specifications, and supply chain awareness.
• Hands‑on experience working with offshore manufacturing partners, reviewing samples, and redlining with precision.
• A wide design range. You are equally comfortable designing into a clean, modern nursery aesthetic, an approachable traditional bedroom, and a layered maximalist interior.
• Sharp eye for color, pattern, composition, and surface design.
• Strong communication skills. You can present your work clearly and advocate for your design decisions.
• You’re able to manage a project by creating a schedule, tracking milestones and key decisions, understanding who needs to be updated, breaking bad news when necessary, and most importantly celebrating wins with the team!

Nice to Have

• Experience with PLM software (e.g., Centric, Bamboo Rose, or similar).
• Working knowledge of pattern‑making or garment construction basics.
• Experience designing for the baby or children's category specifically.
• Familiarity with OEKO‑TEX, GOTS, or other textile safety and sustainability certifications.

California pay range: $90,000 USD - $105,000 USD
