What To Know About HGTV Barbie Dreamhouse Judge Jonathan Adler

Jonathan Adler's collaborations with Mattel don't stop at these Barbie-centric projects, as the interior designer actually partnered with Fisher-Price, one of Mattel's leading brands, as a creative director. The partnership was intended to bring a high-end style spin on still-functional merchandise for children under five years old.

"My goal is to marry modern design with the brand's expertise in early childhood development," Adler said of the partnership. "Babies — and parents — deserve baby gear and toys as stylish as they are" (per Interior Design). Fisher-Price's executive vice president Jean McKenzie echoed Adler's statement: "While staying true to what we've always stood for — enriching developmental play, quality, and safety — we are contemporizing form, function, and style." 

With both his successful career as an interior designer and his history of Mattel collaborations in mind, it's a no-brainer that Adler was brought on as a judge for the "Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge." With the influence of his expertise, the HGTV contestants are guaranteed to create a one-of-a-kind, Barbie-tastic dreamhouse.
