The Dream Team
That Selders Crew
In addition to love for others, commitment to community, growth for self, and obedience to God, we endeavored to instill within our children the importance of a solid work ethic, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the development of a trade or technical skill in addition to formal education. It was our goal to empower our children to believe in their ability to “become their own boss,” fully equipped in the knowledge necessary to launch and maintain a successful, thriving business. Over the last 20 years, our family has managed two sucessful businesses: aOur children are now adults, and they are included in all executive operations of Brown Baby Design. They grew up learning the trade of garment design and textile printing. Absolutely every piece from Brown Baby Design is handled by a member of our family. This company is a whole-family entity; Mom, Dad, and young adults participate in the brainstorming, designing, printing, drying, folding, packaging, selling, and shipping processes.
