Why our students love learning with BYOL
“i like the style the way you are speaking and telling the things also im poor at english so i actual understand your language so easily without any problem and ya thats cool.”
“This was an amazing, value-for-money introduction to Figma. I made an entire working design for my client with ZERO PRIOR EXPERIENCE. Thanks to Dan's thoughtful, step-by-step instructions, I never got stuck or felt frustrated, despite juggling learning and execution. One heads-up: this is a beginner's course to get you started. I'm learning CSS now and looking forward to doing Dan's Advanced Figma...”
“This UI/UX course is very helpful and amazing. It's definitely worth purchasing if you're planning to become a UI/UX Designer!”
“I wasn't expecting to learn so fast and to start practicing so early in the course, and I LOVE IT!”
“It was a good match. The instructor is lively, I love his energy and the little jokes he throws in here and there, makes it really interesting.”
“He makes it so easy to understand, Thank you.”
“Shoutout to Dan and the Team. i started as a beginner and this course realllyy helped me NGL. i would recommend this and i anticipate how the Advanced is gonna look like.”
“O curso apresenta de maneira clara e organizada os recursos do Figma aplicados ao design de interfaces e à experiência do usuário (UI/UX). O conteúdo contribui para a compreensão das possibilidades da ferramenta na criação e na prototipagem de produtos digitais. De modo geral, é uma formação útil para quem deseja desenvolver seus conhecimentos em Figma.”
“i like the course:: the topics covered, the projects, the teaching style, and the personality of the instructor!”
“lots of good and valuable information, hints and tricks. Scott knows a lot about design and is very good managing shortcuts. Very complete Figma course, also entertaining.”
“I LOVE that he keeps his mistakes and mis-clicks in the videos. That helps enormously when I make my own mistakes, particularly when getting back to where I was isn't intuitive. There are a number of situations that hitting undo won't help to fix.”
“very clear and sounds super ensuthiastic making you want to learn”
“It's been really easy to follow and I absolutely love how he keeps it fun with jokes and little tricks.”
“I really like this course! Scott's teaching style is thorough and easy to follow; he is attuned to any issues we may come across and entertaining/charismatic enough to keep me engaged. Figma is also an excellent platform (better than Adobe, in my opinion lol); I can't believe I didn't learn it sooner!”
“He really explained it well and he made it enjoyable, i love it, he is funny as well which i love, it's worth it for UI/UX beginners.”
“Thank you Dan for this amazing course. I am a Software developer , tired of coding , well never been intrested in that, and finally decided to take up a career that i really care for amd started with UX , and its my first course and it was amazing and thankyou for such positive help and support and knowledge.”
“Der Kurs war super aufgebaut und sehr detailiert. Auch wird die Theorie immer sofort mit Praxis verknüpft und super erklärt.”
“Love the course and the enthusiasm; Dan's energy is awesome, and I love how authentic the content feels rather than rehearsed.”
“Daniel has singlehandedly taught me everything about Adobe and now FIGMA. If every teacher or instructor I ever bumped into throughout my education journey operated like he does, there would have been a greater desire to learn.”
“He understands how to communicate with a student to impart the best possible learning outcome vs teaching at a student.”

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.
