I’ve always been a crafty girl. My first trip to Michael’s at age seven? Life-changing. I genuinely thought we’d landed in Disney World for art supplies. The moment I got home, I opened YouTube and typed “craft videos,” which, at seven, felt like serious research.

That rabbit hole led to Shai B. Creations, my very own handmade card business. I’d spend hours designing cards, with my fingers covered in glue and my heart full of joy. I’d then spend twice as long working up the courage to show anyone. But I did it. And every sale felt like proof that my ideas could actually come to life.

Somewhere between showcasing my work at the 4H-fair and cardstock, I learned that creativity isn’t only about making things, but about being intentional, curious, and brave enough to share what you love.

I’m Tsehai Bean, an advertising student at Indiana University who finds joy in every craft aisle, fills pages in my junk journals, and always makes room for one more bullet journal. That curious kid with a glue stick? She’s still here, just with bigger ideas and a sharper toolkit
