Jacquie Koschitzke, Founder of Meraki
Where it all started
Hi! My name is Jacquie, and I’m the founder of Meraki. I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you my healthy food business journey. I decided to follow this path in late 2017. Back then, I was working as a teacher. Although I enjoyed teaching, I wasn’t happy with my overall situation.
Before turning into what it is today, Meraki, which means doing something with love and passion, started as a Google document. I wrote down everything that makes me happy in this document. After listing several ideas, I realized they had one thing in common: food.
That’s when I decided to leave my stable teaching job to pursue my own food business. However, since I had no formal business plan or experience in this industry, I encountered a lot of hardships and challenges.
Everything changed after I decided to hire staff members for my business. By surrounding myself with passionate people, Meraki grew, and I was able to accomplish my 10-year goal for the business in just two years. Currently, Meraki is in the process of establishing a Kitchen Café, which would allow us to provide different food-related services and even culinary classes to the community.
Aside from the hardworking and skillful people behind it, one of the main factors behind Meraki’s success is my desire to do something that I love.
If Meraki were a feeling, it will be Hygge - a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cost, charming or special.
