JESSIE LAMWORTH

  • Hometown: Phoenix, Maryland

Bio

Jessie grew up on a farm in Baltimore County, Maryland, where she raised cows, chickens and pigs with her two moms, Marla and Joyce, and has been making and crafting ever since she was little. Even though Joyce is a doctor and Marla is a lawyer, they never pressured her to pursue a career just for society's approval or money. Unfortunately, her school started placing less value on artistry and more value on test scores as she got older. Jessie went to college to major in biomedical engineering, then switched to architecture and urban planning. When she graduated, she got a job as a brand consultant in New York City, where she stayed for 18 months before quitting to become her own boss. She is currently living back on the farm in Maryland with her parents.
