Meet Marnie

Hi!

Hey!

Hello!

My name is Marnie Sanders and I am the founder of Minke & Co.

My Story

I started Minke & Co in 2025 to sell good quality products and to help people in need.

Minke & Co is currently supporting The Black Dog Institute.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with anxiety, OCD and depression but because I had a supportive family, and was able to afford treatment, I was able to receive help from professionals.

Unfortunately, 1 in 3 Australians do not seek help for mental illness.

The Black Dog Institute aims to create mental health solutions and prevent mental illness by conducting research about mental health and suicide prevention, engaging with schools and workplaces, and developing digital tools.

My Mission

1 in 2 people are impacted by suicide by their 25th birthday.

My mission is to reduce the number of lives lost to suicide.

When I am not working, you can find me walking my dogs Honey and Maggie, getting a sweet treat, baking, and watching movies and TV shows (my current favourites are Notting Hill, About Time, Girl Boss, and Boy Swallows Universe).

Some sweet treats (pastries are my favourite especially pain au raisins)
