Why our students love learning with BYOL
“It bridges the gap between simply knowing where the tools are and understanding how to use them effectively in a real-world corporate or creative environment. What truly sets this course apart is its commitment to hands-on learning. Each section concludes with an optional mini-project or activity specifically designed to apply the skills just taught. While they are labeled as optional, opting into...”
“This isn't just another introductory guide; it is a full-scale deep dive into the Figma ecosystem that feels more like a high-end professional workshop than a standard online course. Throughout the lessons, the instructor provides the kind of "in-the-trenches" insights and practical know-how that you can immediately apply to your daily workflow.”
“Daniel's Your work is awesome m Me being a graphics/web designer & developer since 20 years , Figma was new to me , but through this course I really got full knowledge of working as UI/UX Designer . Cheers”
“I was overwhelmed by trying to learn Figma using the tutorials on the Figma website. This course has been excellent - Daniel covers so much ground, but explains everything really well and is engaging to listen to. The class projects really helped cement what we learnt in the videos and I am now excited to go off and create my own projects. Would def recommend!”

“Now that I have finished this course, I wanted to write a review. This course came at the right time for me.

This course is great for people who are just getting started, 10/10!”

“Love this course so far! I'm just a plain graphic designer learning how to use Figma, and this course does an amazing job teaching me important rules relevant to UX/UI, mobile and web design.

This course has helped me understand why develop...”

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.
