Matthew Walkerdine is a designer whose work focusses on independent publishing, consumer-level technologies and the spontaneous and intuitive possibilities of collaboration. In October 2011, Matthew co-founded Good Press a bookshop, gallery and print studio dedicated to the promotion and distribution of independently published printed matter with a focus on visual arts, design, writing, music and artist objects. His work is practice-led with a particular focus in sub-underground music and fandom, community and collaboration and re-situating these in an art and design publishing context. From 2018 to 2024 he was a lecturer in Communication Design at The Glasgow School of Art and has spoken, exhibited, and collaborated internationally. He is currently studying an MA in Communication Design: Book Design at The University of Reading in the Typography & Graphic Communication department.
