Hello, I'm Mei Pak!
I started Creative Hive in 2014 out of a love of sharing my marketing experiments I was doing in my jewelry business, Tiny Hands, which I still run to this day.
I love helping people, and seeing fellow creatives and artists succeed in what they were born to do!

My Journey
•
•
•
2004
Bought a pack of hundreds of little amethyst chips for $10, sold 5 of $2 to my friends at school during recess.
2009
Packed my entire life in two luggage bags (of course one bag included all my crafting supplies because I wasn’t aware Michael’s existed at the time). Flew from Malaysia to Wisconsin, USA to pursue a degree in Math. Continued selling my jewelry on the side when I wasn’t doing homework or in class.
2006
Took my first ever jewelry making class where I lived in Malaysia, and made so much jewelry that I didn’t know where it should go. So I started an online shop. Tiny Hands was born!

Graduated college, but had a hard time getting a job related to my degree. Went full time with Tiny Hands, and got a remote web designer job on the side to pay the bills.
