We were very lucky to have 3 fantastic and varied story tellers share their "why's" and "passion projects". From 3 different stages of their professional careers, each were able to give a unique look into why visual story telling has captured their hearts.

Jonas Tawharu Is a very busy boy indeed. He is a sponsored surfer for Rusty Australia, whilst studying at the University of Otago - Film, media and marketing with a minor in science communication and not to mention also interning at Firebrand.

It hardly seems fair to explain a video based keynote in text form so let me point you to our Facebook where you can view the entire Facebook Live event.

We look forward to the next Shopify Meetup. Keep you ears to the ground and we will keep you in the loop.
