“These are really wonderful insights to someone just bootstrapping UX/UI. Knowing what I'm applying for based on the different fields of UX is so helpful. I now know which to apply for based on the title alone.”

Andrew

“Thank you so much for this class. I loved that the tutor gave us tips on how to work. It was very helpful and insightful, especially when you lack the experience. He contextualised his information in a way that made it easy to understand.”

Marie

“A shorter, compressed course about the theory of UX Design. It gave me a good introduction to the theory behind and some methods to use. I will move on to Dan's other UX courses that also includes more practical work in Figma. I think this one should be a good foundation for that. This far, Dan lives up to my expectations as an instructor.”

Marcus

“I learnt a lot in this ux design course and it's a very first step towards becoming a ux designer. Love the teachings. Thanks to the Byol team for this course”

Nesta

“This isn't my first course with Dan. I love his teaching style, always with a sense of humor, the depth of his knowledge, and his ability to convey it. The short, one-minute lessons on each section are useful and helpful. The course is about 10 years old, but the knowledge it contains is still helpful. Thanks !”

Mal

“As always, Dan's courses are very informative and presented in a way that keeps you paying attention and makes the whole learning experience actually enjoyable. 10/10 recommend!”

Ioana

“Great course. Got to know a lot about the theory of UX designing.”

Pratheek

“I'm also doing the UI/UX course by the same author, but it's good to have a theoretical on just UX to understand the non-UI skillset.”

Guenton

“Very good course, learned a lot of what to expect from working in UX and how to apply this knowledge in practice. Thanks!”

Brunon

“Fue una buena elección , gran gama de temas para poner en práctica en un futuro”

Himani

“I get a better and clearer picture of UX design and user experience. Thanks, Dan.”

Nishanth

“This course was a great overview of UX design principles and the processes that are part of this field. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what is involved in UX design and a wealth of resources for any UX or UX-related projects I should be involved in. In many ways, this overview of the theory provided much more practical information than I expected. The content is divided into eas...”

Karis

“So the good thing is that this course is uptodate. Second the way the teacher teaches, is good! His nice and fun teaching way doesnt make me sleep! You dont need to watch it on a higher speed. So yeah, able to do the course in a short time!”

Ilay

“UX is just an area of interest for me. Dan successfully kept the course relevant, interesting, and educational. I found Dan's ways of explaining key terms and phrases nice and simple making it easy to follow along. Although I do not build apps or websites for my job, I build reports and dashboards for a range of stakeholders, I'll certainly be taking some of the techniques and tips from this cours...”

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.
