Hi there, my name is Yana. The main intention as to why I created Maenichie is for me to have a platform to explore and express my creativity in graphic designing and video editing; other than sharing my passion in learning the kalimba.
I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power. Thus, sharing things that I know is a way for me to exchange values and contribute back to other people. Without the generosity of people who have made tutorials online, I would never imagine gaining the required skill set to build Maenichie. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has shared your knowledge on the Internet.
What does the name ‘Maenichie’ means?
Since I originally intended for it to be a lifestyle blog, I thought that anything that means ‘daily’ would make a nice name. I wanted to give the name ‘mainichi’ which means every day in Japanese. But the name is taken, it’s an established news company in Japan. I played around with the spelling and came up with what it is now. I grew up with a lot of Japanese dramas and manga so that’s why I chose a Japanese word for it.
When was Maenichie started?
In June 2020, during Covid-19 restricted movement order.
