Hi, I’m Diego Schtutman, a Graphic Designer and Type Educator from Argentina. For the past nine years at Canva’s Fonts Team, I’ve worn many hats—from Font Craft Lead to shaping AI-assisted workflows and visual research. I’m passionate about typography and helping people discover how fonts and type choices can elevate a story and a brand. I started teaching typography early in my career and I intend to keep doing it for a long time. I love sharing knowledge through learning sessions, collaborating across teams, and exploring the intersection of design, language, and AI. In my free time I run Tipomov, a side-art project that explores type in motion.
