Prudence Mak (Chinese: 麥雅端;) is a Hong Kong-based artist most notable for her work in fashion and accessory design. She is the Co-owner and Chief Designer of Chocolate Rain Ltd, the Founder of Chocolate Rain Jewellery & Design. as well as the creator of "Fatina"--the company's central icon.

Early Life
Prudence Mak was born and raised in Hong Kong by a traditional family. Growing up without toys and television, she developed an interest in drawing and sewing from a young age.

Her father worked for the Stanley Prison as a translator while her mother worked in a garment factory. Mak was inspired by her mother who encouraged her passion by bringing home scraps of cloth from furniture and clothes with which she would sew to create dresses. She held resentment for her father who, though he provided her with art materials such as colored pencils, would often prevent her from drawing as he claimed she could not live by her natural talent alone.

Initially studying Fine Arts in the University of Lethbridge, Mak would later move to London where she was awarded a full scholarship in Central Saint Martins. Here, she graduated to receive her Master of Arts degree.

Early Work
Employment was difficult as a result of a financial crisis in 1996. Sending countless of resumes to various advertising agencies and architectural clients, Mak grew more desperate as her attempts fell unsuccessful. She would eventually find employment as a waitress for a hotel.

Chocolate Rain Ltd.
"'I came up with the name Chocolate Rain because I love chocolate, and to me, rain symbolizes something unfortunate. I hate it, because no one shops on rainy days, and is a contrast to chocolate, which is sweet and happy. It’s just like life.'""-Prudence Mak"

Chocolate Rain was funded and created from Mak's own earnings and savings. Despite a shaky start during her shop's first opening as a result of a potential partner's absence and abandonment, Mak's business flourished to the point of international popularity. The center mascot of her work was Fatina.
