Surtees has worked in a small design studio, a web/print agency, a large IT company and a college. A 2000 graduate of the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication design, he was president of the Alberta North Chapter of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC) and was recently elected to the National Board of the GDC as vice president, communications.
