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 #4.
In this episode, Bonnie tells the story of Pattern Magazine, a dream she carried quietly for years before bringing it into the world. While digital moves quickly, print creates space, inviting readers to linger, focus, and truly take it in.
That philosophy unfolded in two meaningful ways: the launch of Pattern Magazine, now available nationwide at Barnes & Noble, and a thoughtful redesign of the Surface Design Immersion workbook experience.
