Konval Matin

Never been more excited to be a curious generalist

@aimeeserafim @heymantle So lovely to chat about literally everything with you

I’ve been posting about cool merch a lot and today I met the design queen @konval . You may know her from the amazing @heymantle designs. Coffee, rain, good chats. So nice to finally meet you 💖

@blairbeckwith You’re a natural!!

I’m not ashamed to say that this event is probably the hardest I’ve worked on something for a couple years. The positive feedback - and the lessons learned - made it all worth it. Next time is gonna be even better.

@aimeeserafim @heymantle Ooo! Well I love that you love ‘em

Okay, I’m completely OBSESSED with these bubbles @heymantle 🫧✨

The support from this community for our Techtonic event meant the world to us. It's hard to put in to words. 450+ Shopify ecosystem partners came together for 25 talks, 35+ speakers, and uncountable connections. We're already thinking about next time. We can't wait to see many of you at Editions this week and at Techtonic next year... Or sooner. We'll be rolling out the video recordings of all talks as soon as we can so you can catch anything you missed. Huge thanks to everyone involved who made it happen: @cleverific , @gadget_dev , @TSupportHeroes , @ShopPad , @judgeme, @AutoDsTools , StarApps, @RivoCommerce, @bold_commerce, @sufio_com, and @foxsellapp. Until next time ✌️

4 months in the making - event branding with all the fun details: posters, T-shirt designs, engraved lanyards that can be repurposed as luggage tags, builder charms, and a custom scent for a truly multi-sensory experience for @heymantle’s techtonic with the best team

It's been so fun working on the branding for @heymantle's techtonic. Can’t wait to see the event unfold IRL at the end of the month.

@BrandonMChu Yes, Brandon!! Congrats

Climbed mt. Kilimanjaro this week with some friends Took 7 days & the push to the summit started at 12am and lasted 16 hours. Blistering winds at the peak made it -30C. Low oxygen at 19k ft has you taking 2-3 breaths for every step. Incredible suffering during, and equal satisfaction afterwards. Tanzania is a beautiful country. The guides and porters took incredible care of us and taught us how to conquer the mountain. Hard working, family people, trying to make life better. When we left camp each day, Porters would dismantle the camp, climb 3x as fast as us, and build the camp again before we arrived. Carrying 3x as much. Average Tanzanian income is $300 usd/month. Always humbling to be reminded that life isn’t fair and I already won the lottery at birth. So grateful to the Tanzanian people we took care of us on this epic trip.

@robjama 👋🏽 doing brand design

The Shopify alumni are building incredible companies but there's no place tracking them all. Let's fix that! Drop names of Shopify Mafia (Mounties? 🇨🇦) founded startups, brands and agencies below and I'll vibe code it into an open database. Who else should be on the list?

@stevenwhatevr Omg yes. I’ll die on this hill lol

Sonos make terrible products.

@memeserafim @zapiet @heymantle Game recognize game 😂

@konval @zapiet @heymantle Thank you for noticing 😂❤️

Even Zapietousaurus can’t wait for @heymantle Seismic Event Vol. 2 👀❤️🎁

@cpgeiss @heymantle Thanks Chris!

@konval @heymantle The branding is beautiful. Congrats!

Excited to see these packages out in the wild for tomorrow’s Seismic event by @heymantle. Designing the event branding was a blast, and seeing it come to life with socks, notebooks, mugs, and packaging makes it even better.

Well isn’t this just the nicest thing - thanks @BallinFil

@moosechildd Ah, unreal

a photo i took that feels like a painting

The only silver lining around breaking my iPhone camera is using my fujifilm instead. Olympic & Mount Rainier national park last week.

@nathanbarry Big fan of isopure unflavoured, it’s actually unflavoured and lets me change it up with honey / maple syrup, etc. and good for savoury baking too!

What’s your favorite protein powder? Taste, ingredients, etc.

@Grace_Modment @NHammondDesign Omg, yes.

@dickiebush Personal training & learning to enjoy cooking nutritious meals

What's the best investment you've made in your health this year?
