Meet the Owner

Alyssa Dykstra

Hi, I'm Alyssa, the founder and face of Threads & Thistles Inventory! My journey started when I began sharing my "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" designs years ago, and that passion has now turned into a full time job in content creation and owning this small business. I love blending cozy and chaotic elements, both in games and in life, which inspired me to create a store that celebrates all types of gamers. My mission is to help people both in and out of gaming feel seen and valued, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique gaming journey with confidence and style.

Meet the designer

Jimena Fernández

Jimena is my go-to designer whenever I need more of my complicated ideas to come to life, and she was one of my initial designers to help me with the first shop designs before I got my Ipad, like the "Leah's Feelings" design you see her wearing in the photo! She primarily does illustration and concept art, and she says she most enjoys character drawing for games. Jimena describes herself as a huge D&D nerd, and she even creates full designs for her D&D characters!

Diana Puigferrat

Diana is another designer and friend of mine I love working with- and I particularly love working with her for patterned designs! I call her the queen of patterns. She helped me with the Korok designs from the Zelda collection, which have now become some of the most popular designs in the store. Make sure to check out her portfolio and read more about Diana below!

Meet my lil' helper

Roli

Roli is my best friend who helps Thomas with back-end work! Roli is very interested in math and has been extremely helpful when it comes to handling finances, helping me test products, and occasionally being my lil' model 😉
