Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI 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.

All right, it is Class Exercise time. So, there are two options. The first one is to continue on with this course and build us a Contact Us and About Us page. So, put content in there, link it to the Home page, and then either upload it to our host, so I can see it, or test it locally and send me a screenshot. I'd like to see what you've done with it.
The next thing to do, and the bigger option is to actually build your own Portfolio. Totally happy for you to use the structure we built in this course. I just want you to go off, and switch it out for your-- you can pick a different font, you can use the same font. You can use your own Portfolio images. I'd love to see that, that is a pretty big exercise, I know, but if you are like most people and you've been avoiding doing your Portfolio, this could be the perfect time. I'd love to see it, scrutinize it, if you ask for advice, I will give you some. It will be constructive, I promise. All right, let's get on to the next video.
