“Dan is a fantastic tutor and his enthusiasm and humour convinces you to keep going even if you've had a bad day and can't be bothered to learn. That's a rare thing!”

Daniel

“I usually lose interest really quickly when I have to sit through online courses but Dan's way of animated presenting keeps me interested and awake. Learned at lot!”

Mareike

“I started this course knowing nothing about UI/UX design and had only done the free Figma Beginner course on Figma.com. Dan and his essentials class have really helped me expand my skills and understanding of both. I've already been able to leverage these new skills at the marketing design company I work for, assisting with design and content changes. I'm looking forward to contributing more!”

Jim

“Great course! It is so practical. I've learned a lot. It's totally begginer friendly, but even if you already have basic knowledge you can still learn a lot from this course.”

Wiktoria

“I am halfway through the course and I am so impressed with it. I especially like that everyone has their own unique design brief, different from the mentor's. This gives me personalized challenges to work on throughout the course, rather than just copying what the mentor does. I can't wait to finish it and improve my skills further.”

Hish

“I really like this course. Dan is great in explaining things in a fun and engaging way. The course structure is easy to follow. I like that there are class projects dotted along the way, so I practice while I go along.”

Tanja

“This course was excellent! Dan does a great job of providing a lot of background info on many overlapping topics (design, development, AI tools, etc.), while staying focused on UI UX Design in Figma. I found the homework assignments really valuable in ensuring I followed all the content and retained all the info. Don't skip those! It's a lot of info, but then again, Figma has a lot of features. Da...”

Laura

“Fantastic course. As an experienced Graphic Designer I finally wanted to add UX Design to my Portfolio and therefore learn Figma. Dan has a great way of explaining and the pace of the tutorials were perfect for me. I finished the course with a nice AND functional design. Really enjoyed it, learned a lot. Probably doing the advanced course as well. Can recommend!”

Melanie

“This course has helped me a lot. The instructor explains everything clearly and makes the lessons fun with his sense of humor. I really like the structure of the course because everything is explained step by step, making it easy to follow and practice. Overall, it has been a great learning experience!”

Mila

“So far so good. Very easy to follow along. It’s like watching someone who knows what they’re doing, doing it for the first time 🤣. I took this course because even though I’m familiar with Adobe illustrator, I wanted to make sure I had the basics down before moving onto the advanced course.”

Christopher

“Interesting, fun and very personable so far. Clarifies 100% that I selected the correct course.”

R.M

“A good mixture of beginners and intermediate knowledge I especially like the extra tips from Dan really useful”

Gemma

“Thanks so much, this was really helpful! I did a few courses through the Figma Learning site but this was much more in-depth and useful. I feel much more confident in using Figma now and am looking forward to starting the Advanced course next. I'll definitely check-out more courses with Dan as this one was personable and easy to follow along. Thanks Dan!”

Christian

“I really like Dan's tutorials. He makes everything so simple and easy to understand.”

Sarah

“I just completed the course; it was such a worthwhile ride. Daniel's teaching skills are really great. I'm excited to dive into my next project using the knowlegde I have gotten from here.”

Ajadi

“This is a wonderful course. It sequentially builds the foundational knowledge necessary for using Figma to its full potential. I really appreciate the work that Dan and the BYOL team have put into this course. Thank You!”

Michael

“Easy to follow and a great pace for understanding what you are watching and learning. Dan is also funny, which makes it enjoyable to watch.”

Crystal

“So far, the course is fantastic! The delivery is easy to understand but gives a great amount of information.”

Fenella

“Always excellent”

Elizabeth

“this is an insanely powerful app i never would have learned all this on my own and the shortcuts are incredibly helpful not just for their own sake but also for telling me what part of the workflow i will use so much that i need to know the shortcuts for them”

Daniel Scott

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor

Figma | Illustrator | Premiere Pro | Lightroom

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.
