David Gee has been designing books for fifteen years. For most of this time, he was also holding down day-jobs, first as an advertising copywriter and associate director, and later as Director of Creative and Editorial at The Toronto International Film Festival. His book designs have garnered many awards, found their way into magazines and textbooks, and afforded him the opportunity to work with an international roster of publishers, large and small. David is also the owner of Knob&Tube, a design and communications studio with a focus on the culture sector. David has been a repeat guest-speaker at the annual DesignThinkers conference, and lectured on book and editorial design at Ryerson University and George Brown College. This is his first semester teaching design at Humber and he hopes to get the hang of using Blackboard very soon.

David Caron is the co-publisher and president of ECW Press, a Toronto-based book, ebook, and audiobook publisher with a mix of award-winning literary works and niche non-fiction, marketed around the world.

Allen Zuk spent his teenage years producing underground press fanzines in the late 1980s, then got his first job in newspaper advertising design and production in 1990, mostly working nights while completing a BA in English Literature from the University of Alberta. In 1997, a career switch into web development soon led to a relocation from Alberta to the southeast UK, where he worked as a designer, coder, and copywriter for several prestigious UK and EU clients at a London dot-com agency until the crash in 2001. He then landed a contract position writing sales presentations, commissioning authors, and editing and co-authoring titles for then Cambridge-based digital design publisher Ilex Press.

Following a 2004 relocation to Toronto, Allen graduated from the inaugural year of the Humber Creative Book Publishing Program, and founded a creative agency providing digital services to publishers and authors. He has been developing and teaching technology classes in the Creative Book Publishing program since 2006, and he served on the program's advisory committee from 2006 to 2020. He now lives in Prague, Czechia, working as a freelance editor and consultant.
