Matt Warburton

Matt Warburton graduated from the DC Graphic Design program in 1983. After completing his program placement with Toronto-based Typesettra Limited, he was hired as a typographer upon graduation, something he considers to have been an important stepping stone in his design career. Throughout the years, Warburton has worked with various design firms in Toronto and Vancouver and has run his own firm for more than 15 years. He has also been an active volunteer and certified member with the Society of Graphic Designers Canada since 1990, serving as national president from 2002 to 2004. Warburton has also sat on many committees, including DC Graduate Student Portfolio Reviews, the Canada Post Stamp Advisory Committee and the Kwantlen University College Program Advisory Committee. Along with fellow alumnus, Bob Wheller, he has also created the current DC shield logo. He continues to support young designers through mentoring and as a sessional instructor with the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
