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 #5.

In this episode, Bonnie pulls back the curtain on the most vulnerable moment of filming the 2026 Surface Design Immersion course… when she froze on camera, kicked everyone out, and cried alone before finding her way forward.

For the first time ever, she filmed in her garden where her work actually begins, capturing the noticing, gathering, and quiet joy of turning something real into something beautiful.
