We were lucky to catch up with Thang Nguyen recently and have shared our conversation below.

Thang, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

Our mission to inspire bedtime reading grew from the cherished moments we shared with our son, Khoa. Like many parents in today’s digital age, we discovered that those precious screen-free moments of reading together were more than just stories – they became the highlight of our day, sparking imagination and building early literacy skills during these formative years.
Our story-inspired clothing and pajamas were born from these moments, designed to bring beloved tales into everyday play and connection. Seeing how our collections help other families create their own reading traditions drives us forward, knowing we’re playing a small part in nurturing the next generation of readers, one bedtime story at a time.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

As parents navigating the fast-paced digital world with our young son, we noticed something magical happening during our nightly bedtime stories. These quiet moments weren’t just about reading – they became our favorite time to connect, imagine, and grow together. That’s when an idea sparked: how could we make these precious moments even more special and extend the joy of storytelling throughout the day?
We founded Dreambly Me to create pajamas that bring a touch of magic to bedtime routines. Our collections aren’t just about beautiful, comfortable sleepwear – each design tells a story, encourages conversation, and invites imaginative play from sunset to sunrise.
What makes us unique is how we weave purpose into every design. While we prioritize premium fabrics and thoughtful details for comfort, our true passion lies in creating pajamas that spark curiosity and foster early literacy. Each pattern becomes a natural springboard for endless conversations, questions, and opportunities for learning during these crucial early years.
The response from families has been incredible. Parents share how Dreambly Me pajamas have become an essential part of their bedtime ritual, leading to longer storytelling sessions and sweeter dreams. These moments of connection and learning are exactly why we do what we do.
We’re building more than just a sleepwear brand – we’re creating a community of families who believe in the power of storytelling to shape young minds. Whether you’re looking for a special gift or everyday favorites, each pajama set comes with its own story waiting to be shared.

We’d really appreciate if you could talk to us about how you figured out the manufacturing process.

Our journey to find the right manufacturing partners was an eye-opening experience. Many manufacturers couldn’t understand why we were so particular about our print details or why we needed to experiment with various fabric types and thicknesses. After countless conversations with potential partners, we finally found those who shared our vision for quality and helped us develop our perfect bamboo fabric blend for Dreambly Me pajamas.
The search for our book manufacturer was another adventure entirely. Since we include these books free with every pajama purchase, we needed to find a partner who could deliver high-quality products at a price point that made sense for our business model. Every detail mattered – from paper quality and sizing to colors and durability. It was a whole new world of manufacturing specifications to learn and master.
But our biggest challenge – and ultimately our greatest achievement – was creating products that perfectly balance education with entertainment. We wanted children to discover fascinating creatures like mandarinfish while feeling cozy and having fun. Finding that sweet spot where learning feels like play took months of design iterations, but seeing children’s faces light up when they discover something new in their Dreambly Me pajamas makes it all worthwhile.

Can you open up about how you funded your business?

I’ve been fortunate to build a career as a finance leader in the tech space for over a decade, including several years with Fortune 10 companies. This background has allowed me to self-fund Dreambly Me, giving us a unique advantage: we can focus on doing things right for our customers without the immediate pressure of profitability.
This financial foundation means we can stay true to our mission and maintain our quality standards – from our premium bamboo fabric blend to including free books with every purchase. While we certainly aim to grow and become profitable, we’re grateful to be in a position where we can prioritize creating the best possible experience for families over quick returns.
This approach allows us to make thoughtful decisions about every aspect of our products, from design to manufacturing to customer service, ensuring we’re building something truly special that aligns with our vision of inspiring early literacy through storytelling.
