about budobo
Hi there! I am so grateful and excited that you are interested in learning more about me and my shop. I am Jenna, aka Budobo, and welcome!
I have long held a love for homemade, high-quality creations, and now I am thrilled to be able to share my crafts with you. Even though I am a Sonographer by education, I spend most of my free time at my crafting desk, designing and making gifts (and of course, filling my own home with my crafts)!
Everything in this store is made by me, in my at-home workshop. My designs are made to fill our homes with a bit of love for something special – whether it be a favorite sports team, fur baby, or tropical paradise vibes! (I am a little obsessed with Maui, and I am lucky enough to vacation there sometimes.)
If you are interested in the process of how I create my products, please follow my instagram, @budobotm.
If you have any questions or custom requests, please reach out to me at [email protected]
My story
This whole project of opening an online store and selling my crafts began mid-2020, when Instagram’s targeted ads worked their magic, and I convinced myself to purchase a Glowforge! In short order, I taught myself how to use image and vectoring software such as Adobe Illustrator, and muddled my way through my first design: the Panda Candle Holder!
Next, I was inspired by my sister to create something dachshund themed, due to her INCREDIBLY ADORABLE dog, Brooklyn (look left), and because she was about to adopt a second Dachshund, Charlie (puppy on the right)! That is when I created the entire Dog Coaster line.
From there, I became obsessed with the oceanic resin masterpieces I saw on, once again, Instagram! But did I learn my lesson? NO!
Within a month I had purchased an entire set of resin, paints, inks, and wood boards to start in on. Minus a few very messy and unfortunate test pieces, it took me about two dozen attempts to finally achieve a beautiful, foamy ocean wave!
These days, I do work a lot, but I appreciate each and every order I receive here. It means so much to me that the art that I love, that I make, is enjoyed by someone else. I absolutely LOVE creating.
Thank you so much for being interested in my creations and my story!
Love,
Budobo
