Welcome! I’m Molly McCabe, the Principal Designer at MBD, where I bring a passion for creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. My approach to design is holistic—I believe that a well-designed space should feel intuitive, balanced, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Whether I’m working on a single room or transforming an entire home, my goal is always to craft environments that enhance the way people live, work, and feel.
My journey into design started early, rooted in a family legacy of craftsmanship and creativity. My grandfather and great-uncle co-founded the iconic Modern Age Furniture Company in New York and Miami, and my father was an award-winning furniture designer in Los Angeles. Surrounded by innovation and artistry, I naturally gravitated toward design. I was drawing floorplans for fun as a child, building with wood in my dad’s shop, and even took on my first home renovation project at just twelve years old.
Today, I hold multiple professional accreditations, including Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) from the National Kitchen & Bath Association, Certified Green Professional (CGP), and Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) from the National Association of Home Builders, as well as Certified Living in Place Professional (CLIPP) from the Living in Place Institute. These credentials reflect my dedication to thoughtful, sustainable, and inclusive design.
I value collaboration and strive to create strong partnerships with homeowners, contractors, and fellow professionals to ensure that every project is a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, walking, playing tennis, and traveling. And no day is complete without the companionship of Mara, our beloved English Springer Spaniel, who often keeps me company while I design.
