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.

Hi there. My name is Daniel Scott  and I'm an Adobe certified instructor for Photoshop. Now I've been a freelancer all around lots of places  and I know that working in big agencies  and at large companies at their internal marketing, uh,  departments, uh, it's as important to do beautiful work  as it is to do it fast and on brandand guidelines.

You are probably at work thinking, uh, you know,  you've got projects that touch things like print, web, ui,  uh, social, you end up doing banner ads. There's lots of different kind  of touch points all over the place. And this course is about kind of doing those things  and keeping consistency across the all  and working fast, productivity, speed, all the adjectives. Um, but uh, you get what I mean, right?

So if you are the kind of person who's doing stuff  and you're like, I know there's a faster way,  or you have the best intentions for upgrading, uh,  to the new features in the new versions of Photoshop,  but never get around to it. I'm your man. This course is for you  and I'll see you in there.
