She handles everything from packaging and shipping to merchandising, photographing products, and managing our social media and marketing.

  • Heidi the Heidelberg

    Heidi is our true workhorse at Wolf & Wren. She prints most of the cards you see—one at a time, with care and sometimes sass. While she occasionally has her moody moments (vintage presses have their quirks), she’s mostly a joy to be around. Her favorite color? Black.
