Why our students love learning with BYOL
“This great and the instructor is ell versed and explains thoroughly as he goes. I have experienced some insructors in the past who click around and you have rewatch many times to figure out what they did, but this instructor is pre panned and obviously has a more detailed plan then just a high-level sylabus.”
“Very instructive and straight to the point, you don't waste time with unnecessary information. It is highly practical and packed with useful content. The instructor is also charismatic and very good at explaining the concepts and techniques. I recommend it to anyone who uses Figma.”

“This author also shows his genuine personality, in which we are able to relate to his teaching. Thank you! July 26 - Im still loving this course because I am quite advance but I am still learning a lot of things. Especially the workflow and best practices. Also this enables me to explore untouched features that I didn't know exist. Thanks for a fun way of teaching us.”

He explains everything so well and even leaves in the real-world hiccups he faces while recording, which makes learning from him incredibly relatable and fun. I'm thoroughly enjoying this course. Highly recommended!”
“Polecam kursy Daniela :) AΕΌ zapisaΕam sobie to zdanie... "Inni oglΔ dajΔ Netflixa, a Ty stajesz siΔ lepszy" <3 DziΔkujΔ i do zobaczenia na kolejnym kursie! :)”

“It's quite engaging and helpful in strengthening my Figma skills. Thanks, Stephanie”
“Great lessons and tips. Certainly touched on a lot of good workflows and different available resources. The technicality was also good to leave you thinking what other possibilities could be. Great job as usual!”
“Mad about BYOL. A past co-worker recommended it, and I joined and never took a class for an entire year--due to my own bad judgment, and time constraints. Since my then contract work ended, I've been headlong into Figma training. I've done training in Figma via LinkedIn Training- BYOL is so much better.”
“Very very very helpful!”

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 G3βs. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create βartβ 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.
