Welcome to Creative Hero!
Hey there!
My name is Manda and I am based in the beautiful country of New Zealand.
I love painting, crafts, photography, doodling, colouring and ALL things creative.
Back in 2020, I was selling a few items on Amazon USA, and using the skills I had developed, I started to import beautiful paint by number designs and even developed my NZ native line as well.
I wanted to create my own brand that I could sell to fellow NZ'ers, as we didn't have much of a choice back then of designs that were shipped from NZ.
This is when Creative Hero was really born.
Business boomed over our many Covid lockdowns, and now I have a large and
very special customer base -
people who love painting and giving them as gifts, as much as I do!
It is now 2026 and I have had to pivot my business to include other exciting products -
See below for the other exciting things you can find on my site
Mission
I have now introduced Art Kits to the website. These are for you to create your own artwork with confidence. Our art kits include a pre-traced canvas, paints, and easy step-by-step instructions, making it simple to enjoy painting, learn colour mixing, and add your own creative flair, making your painting your own. Suits those that want to take a step further from paint by numbers!
Another thing I have realised is I am addicted to thrift shopping, and I love giving gifts that feel personal — the kind that tell an interesting story.
That’s why I created "Gift From The Thrift"
I source second-hand items (so you don't have to), restore and re-style them, and turn them into beautiful, meaningful gifts that are kind to both people and the planet.
No mass production. No duplicates.
Just thoughtful gifting, done differently, with heart
Vision
I have also developed a love for colouring with alcohol markers.
I jumped on the trend and fell in love.
Simple colouring pages that you can really be creative with. Adding your own colour palette, patterns, shadows and shading.
Coming from this, I created some simple colouring pages and I am in the finishing stages of my very first colouring book which I will sell on Amazon US as well as here.
