Every design is hand-drawn by Joan, inspired by her roots and family story. Printed locally in Thunder Bay on premium-quality hoodies and tees.








Suckle Creek Designs was born from the stories of a place that no longer exists — but still lives on through art. Every piece is hand-drawn by Joan, an Indigenous artist honoring her family’s journey and the land that shaped them.
From her home in Thunder Bay, she prints every design with care, celebrating heritage, creativity, and the strength passed down through generations.
Through every design, I’m keeping Suckle Creek alive not just the place, but the love, strength, and creativity my parents passed on to me.
Joan Esquega
Every piece tells a story — about family, tradition, and the land that shaped us. Joan creates each design from her own journey, printing it locally in Thunder Bay onto clothing that’s built to last and made to mean something.
