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.
