In this week's episode, Tim and Eve are talking about what we've been up to since the last pod, our plan for a Analog Instagram Challenge, and Tim talks about how he balances art and commerce with his designs for the store. We also discuss what you can learn from mall stores and Target, even as we talk trash about them. We're happy to be back, and hope that you'll stick with us. We're back on the podhorse!

In this extremely short episode of Attention Shoppers, we talk just long enough to set the stage for a real episode.
info_outlineThis week, Eve and Tim talk to Rica Sunga-Kwan, whose Churn Urban Creamery is one of San Francisco's most popular dessert pop-ups.
Born in Manilla, Rica moved to the Sunset District of SF when she was ten years old. After a decade working in the New York fashion and design industry, she returned home and started making ice cream. Now Churn is working to open a brick-and-mortar location in an old San Francisco movie theater. She stopped by Avenues Dry Goods on her way to drop off a check with her new space's architect to talk about how her multi-cultural background has informed her business, her transition from design to food, and running a business with her husband.
