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.

Transcript
Hi there, my name is Dan, and you and I are going to learn Microsoft Word together.
Now, this is a project based course, so we'll start with a formal business letter, look at a company newsletter, and then move on to a longer business report document, as well as some fancy features where they interact with PDFs and videos.
I’ve made this course for beginners, there is no need to have any previous Word experience, or any Graphic Design, or Desktop Publishing experience. We'll start at the basics, but work quickly into the more modern features of Microsoft Word.
We'll work with images, logos, specific company colors. You'll create corporate templates, and usable styles, automatically personalizing them using Mail Merge.
You'll learn to make a multi newsletter with prints and videos, ready for sharing and commenting.
We'll learn how to take charge of long documents, cleaning them up, and adding professional graphs, enter graphics, tables and much, much more.
There is also downloadable exercise files, and a printable cheat sheet you can use.
So my friend, it is time to go from Microsoft Word Zero to Word Hero, and for you to become the best Word user in your office. Let's go to the course.
It’s not over there, that's just a wall there. I feel like that's a good inspirational way to point at the end.
