Stephen

“I like how the courses are comperehensive at the same time, easy to understand. Thank you!”

Nash

“I found the course informative and enlightening. The process breakdown has been a great help in my journey to transition from Architecture into UX. Thanks for all the tips. I have been able to identify areas where I need to invest more time and will be looking for courses to supplement the shortfalls”

Pieter

“Great learning experience, explained concepts very easily!”

Madhura

“A lovelyyy course. I am learning so much even though I’m new to design”

Sophia

“I have done a lot of UI projects and now wanting to get more into UX and this course took me to the right doorsteps for my next step.”

Stacie

“Dan, you are an AWESOME instructor!!! My dad was a teacher, first, horticulture to high school students...later in life, real estate licensing and update courses. He was very loved by his students because of his story telling to relate skills to real life. You have an outstanding personality to be teaching technical/design classes!!!”

Melanie

“Direct, to the point. Fantastic overview of concepts. Doesn't waste any time and gives exactly the info needed to start grasping the basics of this expansive and useful field. I'm not a graphic designer, but rather a software engineer who does a lot of UI work, and this really helped me advance my ability to contribute on my scrum team in a distinctive and meaningful way.”

Rebecca

“I really enjoyed this course. I'm a graphic designer and would like to get into UI/UX. This course was full of great foundational information that I was looking for before jumping into XD and playing around without knowing anything about UI/UX.”

Cory

“A best Course, From starting to end it was so clean and well Explained. Thanks Dan.”

Ram

“Thank you, Dan, for an amazing course that explained in detail what UX really is. Ever since I started learning graphic design, I've come across the terms UI and UX a lot, not really knowing what they mean. This course taught me what to expect - and I loved it! So see you in the XD and Figma courses soon! :)”

Joanna

“I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it to be very useful and practical. I'm a big fan of Dan's teaching style and I always appreciate the real-world experience he brings to the table. I've already completed Dan's Figma course [which was amazing!] and I'm off to start the Adobe XD course. Dan is an excellent instructor and I highly recommend his courses.”

Nafsika

“I really like the way it's explained so that everyone can understand. The examples given are also quite useful I found a great number of tools that will be handy in the future. Besides, the way Dan explains it in such a way that still makes you want to keep going but he also keeps it realistic is amazing. I hope he continues to put out great content like this one!”

Irina

“Loved it - Ive been doing UX for years and this is by far the best course to outline how to manage a project from start to finish - I learned a lot about how to organize and collaborate!”

Kristen

“This course is comprehensive for designers and beginners who want to get into UX. I love Dan's teaching style; he's eager and loves what he does. It made me engage with the material and apply myself more. Thank you so much for this one, Dan! 😊”

Linda

“Very complete and with a general view of what to be a UX Designer involves”

Tatiana

“Quite happy with the way Dan teaches his classes. He combines UX theory with his experience in field to show us the logic and reason behind his lesson. The way he teaches is easy to grasp and his good energy kind of loops you in as well. Thanks, Dan!”

Gillian

“Awesome time here, getting value for the money and I am still looking out for more wonderful experience”

Opeyemi

“Great course and overview of what to expect and best practices of the field. I think I'll return here a few times to brush up on information that may slip my mind over time. Well worth the money.”

Darryl

“AS usual Dan your an awesome teacher. I love all your courses, so very easy to follow along with and you give a complete picture.”

Daniel Scott

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.

True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.
