bugs rock

candles & wares by jenn schiffer

welcome!

bugs rock is an online shop where you can look at and buy candles and other wares that i've made by hand. my name is jenn, by the way, hello!

image collage with a photo of my egg candles being lit next to a little raccoon figure, and there's a layer of a photo of me holding up a bag of packages, and it says "jenn and her eggs" in the corner

the name "bugs rock" came about when i was building a website and wanted to use something more unique than "hello world" in some placeholder copy. it went on to become a personal mantra in finding both the opportunity to learn and an appreciation of the environment - be it from chaos in the code or uninvited critters in my city apartment. the name "jenn" comes from "jennifer".

bugs rock is my way of sharing my creative practice with the world while leaning into the exciting and terrifying challenges of running a small, sustainable art business on my own after leaving a career of software development and marketing. thank you for reading all of this btw, i really do appreciate it!

xoxo jenn

for my fellow developers...

i built and designed this website using eleventy for site generation, p5.js for the interactive background, ecwid as the ecommerce engine, and digital ocean as the host.
