Episode Description
When Bonnie Christine gathered her team together in April 2025, she asked a question that would change everything: What if the biggest innovation isn't digital at all?
The data was undeniable.
Vinyl sales hitting 18 consecutive years of growth.
Barnes & Noble opening 60 new stores.
Eleven million Americans are raising backyard chickens.
80% of Americans now garden, a 5-year high.
Etsy's reporting a 40% surge in analog-themed shops.
This wasn't nostalgia; it was a coping mechanism.
A collective reaching for things we can touch in a world that feels increasingly untouchable.
Welcome to The Analog Renaissance, Episode #6.
In this episode, Bonnie shares the turning point that led her to reimagine eight years of work and begin again. After hearing from more than 15,000 Surface Design Immersion alumni, one message rose to the surface: "I don't want to consume anymore. I want to create."
That insight sparked two new paths — Flowerie, an e-commerce brand offering heirloom-quality creative tools, and the Print & Pattern Revival Workshop, where more than 100,000 people have created patterns they can actually hold in their hands. Because when you create something physical, something shifts. You move from questioning your creativity to seeing tangible proof of it.
