Let me reintroduce myself — I’m Mariko, the person behind Milltown. 👋❤️
People often ask how big the Milltown team is.
The honest answer? Most days, it’s me - with a little supervision from May and our new puppy, Oscar. ❤️
I design the products, prepare them for production, unpack shipments, count inventory, photograph new arrivals, update the website, pack online orders, create event flyers, film content, and sew our custom chain-stitch embroidery. Four days a week, I also open and run our Greenpoint shop myself.
Running a small business means doing a little bit of everything, and usually finding dog hair on something I just lint-rolled.
It’s a lot of work, but getting to meet our customers and their dogs in person makes every long day worth it. Milltown has always been built with love, passion, and the wonderfully messy reality of sharing life with dogs.
Come say hello to me, May, and Oscar at our Greenpoint shop. 🐾
Visit us at 67 West Street, Suite 102, in Greenpoint.
