Even in childhood, while growing up in rural North Wales, Jessie longed to open her own shop and studio, and in the early 2000s this dream became a reality. Jessie’s shop and studio on East London’s Columbia Road’s Flower Market opened in 2008 before closing its doors and relocating for exciting new adventures 13 years later.
