We recently connected with Jenn Marie and have shared our conversation below.
Jenn , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The most meaningful project I’ve worked on was covering Hello Kitty Con 2014, a global celebration of Hello Kitty’s 40th anniversary and the first convention of its kind. As a lifelong Hello Kitty fan—my love for her began when I was just two years old—this event was incredibly special to me, both personally and as a blogger.
Being at the heart of such an iconic milestone allowed me to combine my personal passion with my love for blogging. I enjoyed capturing the magic of the event through photos, sharing my experiences, and connecting with fellow fans. I also had the chance to explore exclusive exhibits and gain a deeper appreciation for Hello Kitty’s creative and cultural impact over the decades.
This project was especially meaningful because it felt like a full-circle moment—what started as a childhood love became a defining experience for my blog. It also taught me the value of authenticity and how much more meaningful storytelling can be when it’s driven by genuine enthusiasm.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m Jenn, a food and lifestyle blogger, content creator, foodie and lifelong Hello Kitty fan. While I’m an engineer by profession, blogging is my creative outlet and hobby. My blog, Hello Foodie Jenn, is where my two biggest passions—food and creativity—come together. Inspired by my childhood love for Hello Kitty and her supercute vibes, I created a space to celebrate not just delicious bites but also the stories, experiences, and connections that food brings into our lives.
Through Hello Foodie Jenn, I share my adventures in discovering unique dishes, hidden gems, and unforgettable dining experiences. Whether it’s discovering a new restaurant or attending a kawaii event that sparks joy, my goal is to create content that feels approachable, fun, and full of heart. My blog reflects who I am: someone who finds happiness in life’s little things—whether it’s a beautifully crafted latte or a Hello Kitty-shaped dessert!
At its core, Hello Foodie Jenn is about celebrating life’s simple joys, one bite and one special Hello Kitty moment at a time.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The goal driving my creative journey is simple: to share joy and make people smile. Through my social media platforms, I aim to highlight the little things that spark happiness—whether it’s discovering a new restaurant, showcasing a delightful dessert, or celebrating a kawaii Hello Kitty moment. My mission is to create content that spreads positivity and inspires others to find joy in everyday moments. Food and creativity have a unique way of bringing people together, and I hope my platforms can be a source of connection, lightheartedness, and smiles.
How did you build your audience on social media?
When I started building my social media platforms, my goal was simple—share what made me happy, from delicious food to my love for Hello Kitty. I didn’t have a grand strategy but stayed true to my passions, which helped me connect with others who shared my enthusiasm.
For anyone just starting out, my advice is to start small, be patient, and focus on quality over quantity. Don’t compare yourself to others or fall into the trap of chasing a large audience, especially by paying for followers. It’s not about numbers; genuine engagement and authenticity matter most. Instead, focus on building your unique voice and sharing what truly inspires you. The most rewarding part of this journey is seeing how your passion resonates with others.
