Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI 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.

Transcript
So we're getting close to the end of this course. The question now is, what do you do next. The first thing is, I've set a project to do in the next video. It's a little bit larger than some of the class exercises. It's a full job with briefs and images, and all these types of things. And the cool thing about that is you can use that in your portfolio. And I guess that's the next step, it's filling out that portfolio to get more work. To get better at the type of Desktop Publishing that InDesign is great at.
The other thing you can do is, there's InDesign advanced. This one's been complete, but there is a lot more that InDesign does. I've separated that out into another course. So go check that one out. The other thing is, I've got other courses on Photoshop which goes really handy in InDesign. There's lots of things, remember, the images turned up magically from stock library sites. If you need to be taking images, or fixing them, or adjusting them, like in a black and white, like some of the ones we used in this course, that's the job for Photoshop. Remember, the logos, all those were done in Illustrator.
So that might be a course you can do here on Bring Your Own Laptop as well. So go check that out. Or, whatever platform you're watching this. See other courses, keep your portfolio good. And drop me a line, and questions if you're wondering what to do next. I'd love to help. All right, see you in the next video. Homework time.
