Hello, Howdy, Aloha!
I'm Lindsay Woolf, mother, entrepreneur, and animal lover. My journey has been shaped by a unique blend of creativity, family values, and a deep respect for Mother Earth. Growing up in Texas, I was immersed in the entrepreneurial spirit of my family. My grandparents began their journey with a brick-and-mortar office supply store in 1957, where my grandfather sold and repaired manual typewriters for school districts. My parents eventually took over the business, which thrived for 65 years, with my father leading the way in offering PC and Apple computers and pioneering dial-up internet in our area. His early lectures on "Getting on the World Wide Web" in 1996 are still vivid in my memory.
Instead of playing with Barbies, I found joy in filing papers or making copies on the copy machine. The store was my art studio, where construction paper, neon crayons, and glitter became my tools for creativity. From a young age, I was encouraged to believe in myself. My gymnastics coach had me recite "I BELIEVE IN ME!" before walking across the balance beam. Though I wasn't the best gymnast, that mantra instilled in me a confidence that has stayed with me throughout my life.
Dreaming of having my own business, I spent hours envisioning what my mom, grandmother, and I could create together with textiles. Inspired by Shania Twain, I crafted mood boards and selected fabrics, which my grandmother turned into outfits that set trends at school.
After high school, I moved to California for art school, where I delved into film and digital photography. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. My fondest college memories were the hours spent in the darkroom processing film and sitting beside my future husband in accounting class. Although we didn’t start dating until years after graduation, we knew we were meant for each other. Eight years later, we got married in Santa Barbara, where we first met. Today, we live by the sea with our two kids and our beloved dog Moose, fully embracing the coastal lifestyle with family beach walks, living room dance parties, taco Tuesdays, and late-night backyard s’mores.
In 2014, I founded Woolf With Me®, which began as a kids’ brand and has since evolved into a lifestyle brand. Today, Woolf With Me® is home to the Original Trucker Hats with Interchangeable Velcro Patches.
Our mission is rooted in honesty, quality, and keeping our Earth clean. We proudly ship worldwide from Manhattan Beach, California.
Woolf With Me® is a woman-owned small business committed to embracing diversity and inclusion, regardless of race, age, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, education, national origin, marital status, or socioeconomic status. We value and welcome these differences to create a safe and open space for belonging, respect, and acceptance across our global brand.
