Meet The Founder

Hi, I’m Dr. Misha Blackman—Founder and CEO of Misty’s Closet. After 20 years in banking and earning my doctorate in education, I wanted to build something closer to my heart. Inspired by long walks with my dog Misty, I created a purpose-driven pet lifestyle brand where every product reflects love, style, and storytelling.

At Misty’s Closet, we curate high-quality accessories from independent women-, BIPOC-, and LGBTQIA+-owned makers—alongside our own signature collections. But we’re more than products. Through our Swag Meets Wag newsletter and Misty’s Closet Magazine, we celebrate joy, community, and representation in everything we do.
