Jessie Jobst is from a design background, graduating from London College of Fashion with 1st Class Honours Batchelor of Arts degree in womenswear. After having a 360 degree experience in the fashion industry; from design and art direction in London to producing in New York City, SHE LAUNCHED MERIDIAN CHILD MOTORCYCLE CLUB, IN AN ATTEMPT TO ELEVATE MOTORCYCLE CLOTHING design.

Jessie fell in love with motorcycling and through discovering heroines such as world riders: Anne-France Dautheville and Elspeth Beard, and decided to travel the globe on two wheels.

in 2019 she packed up her life in NYC and set off on a trip around the world. Unfortunately this was cut short due to covid but she managed to ride over 15,000 miles and crossed 13 international borders landing her in Chile before shipping her motorcycle back to NYC. To make up for the shortened trip she spent the rest of the pandemic riding extensively throughout the USA + Baja Mexico with her husband.

She currently lives and works in NYC, producing fashion photo shoots and living by the philosophy: that riding is a form of meditation, and using the motorcycle as form of respite for city living.

Jessie see’s the motorcycle not only as a way in which you can transform yourself but also as a key to exploring the unseen corners of the world. As Theresa Wallach says: “Motorcycling is a tool with which you can accomplish something meaningful in your life. It is an art."
