Jessie

Micah
Writer & Designer
Thistle Design Co. is a wife and husband team who lives in the serene mountains of Kentucky. They began their journey creating Thistle after they graduated college and sought an avenue to showcase the art style and storytelling they loved.
Jessie is an illustrator and graphic designer inspired by Appalachia’s beauty. She uses digital illustration coupled with traditional techniques to create whimsical pieces. Micah is a writer and designer, always helping the team to come up with their next clever idea.
At the heart of their process is the desire to tell a good story. Storytelling runs through their veins and connects them to their Appalachian roots. Together they create illustrated stickers, art prints, postcards, tote bags, and hand-bound journals.
