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.

I've worked in lots of larger places where either agencies or internal design departments for like mo multinationals, loads of departments. And you need to not only create something that is okay, ah, beautiful, but often it's more important that it adheres to brand guidelines and make sure that it can be done quickly and can be updated for the next version very quickly. So it's all about reusability, uh, consistency, following brand guidelines and working very efficiently. So if you are okay at Photoshop already, this course is gonna take you to the next level.
