Asian Creative Collective (ACC)

Asian Creative Collective (ACC) is a US-registered creative design and e-commerce company, and the for-profit sister brand of the nonprofit Asian Creative Foundation (ACF).

Founded by the same leadership, our mission is to drive sustainable social impact through creative enterprise. Our in-house team of designers and product developers creates original handmade products inspired by Asian culture, while supporting ethical production and inclusive employment in Asia.

We operate two core brands under our portfolio:

Cheesenut: Premium wool felt art

Chumi Craft: Exquisite handmade floral art

All product lines across Cheesenut and Chumi Craft are fully developed in-house by our US-based creative and product team. We oversee every stage of the creation process — from original concept design, material experimentation, and handcraft technique optimization to full cross-border production coordination and quality standard enforcement. Our in-house development model ensures consistent originality, strict craftsmanship standards, and culturally authentic storytelling across all collections.

Asian Creative Foundation (ACF) | Established Nonprofit Sister Organization

Founded and governed by identical leadership, Asian Creative Foundation (ACF) is a mature U.S.-based nonprofit with decades of experience in Asian craft preservation, global cultural exchange, and artisan community empowerment.

ACF’s established institutional partnerships, verified artisan networks, and field research form the foundational resource system for ACC’s product development and ethical production. All of ACC’s craft production communities and cooperative partnerships originate from ACF’s long-term community projects, ensuring stable, ethical, and culturally authentic product pipelines.

Never Have I Ever | Spun-Off ACC Incubated Brand

Originally conceptualized, incubated, and product-developed under ACC during the company’s early founding stage, Never Have I Ever is a successful multi-million-dollar consumer brand founded by Susana Chen.

Born from ACC’s core mission of transforming art and design into modern consumer goods, the brand scaled rapidly after independent spin-off. Featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, the brand distributes across major U.S. retailers including Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters, and collaborated with official licensed IP such as globally renowned franchises including Peanuts (Snoopy) and Miffy, alongside curated partnerships with iconic artists and lifestyle brands.

The complete product development, artisan sourcing, and cross-border commercialization system established during Never Have I Ever’s ACC incubation phase continues to serve as the foundational operational framework for Cheesenut and Chumi Craft’s current product lines.

While fully independent in finance and corporate operation today, Never Have I Ever represents ACC’s proven capability to incubate, develop, and scale successful consumer design brands.
