About Us
The Warm Heart Fashion Accessories Microenterprise team is very small. Josephine, our volunteer coordinator, comes to Warm Heart every winter for two months and then works virtually from her home base in Spain the rest of the year. Founder Evelind is kept abreast of everything that is going on and steps in to help when we need her.
Otherwise we have our volunteer designers/product developers (Britta, Anna) and volunteers who have helped significantly with market research (Jia, Stephanie) and photography (Jessica). Their stories are scattered throughout our site.
Last but not least are our talented Artisans who all work on a contract basis. Short profiles of some of the women we depend on can be found on different product category pages.
