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.

And because it's gonna be your first website, uh, be sure to drop me any questions in the forums or, um, in the comment section. Um, you're gonna run into some issues and I'm happy to help. Now, there'll be a link just at the bottom of this video here where you can go off and check, uh, my final version where I got to a tutorial so that you can compare against your one. You might have got to a point where, uh, at the end here you've got a few extra issues that I didn't have on the videos. You can come download my version and just see and can compare how your one is versus my one. Now's a good time to request this tutorial as well.
I'm busy spending the year making videos. Um, ask questions. It might be a big topic, it might be a small topic. It might be a small blog post that I make for you or might turn into a full, uh, video series. But, uh, drop your ideas or what you'd like to see in the, uh, comments below, or the discussion or the forum below. And, uh, yeah, we'll see what we can make this year.
Another nice thing you might do now is you might check out some of the other video, uh, tutorials, if you haven't. There's a series on how to use Photoshop to do the design aspect of web design. We've used Dreamweaver in this tutorial series to do the production, the making of it, but all the design work was done in another video series, um, called, uh, Photoshop for Web Design. Um, another video series that you might be interested. It's, and I shot one. It's about buying a domain name.
You might already have one, but, um, check it out. It's a really interesting thing to go through. Um, if you are gonna be a web designer, helping other people pick domain names, uh, what to pick local versus, uh, dot coms, uh, all sorts of, uh, interesting things for domain names. So go off and check that one as well. All right, that's it. I'll see you in the next video.
