Sharing is who I am, and teaching is where I am at my best, because I've been on both sides of that equation, and getting to deliver useful training is my meaningful way to be a part of the creative community.
I've spent a long time watching others learn, and teach, to refine how I work with you to be efficient, useful and, most importantly, memorable. I want you to carry what I've shown you into a bright future.
I have a wife (a lovely Irish girl) and kids. I have lived and worked in many places (as Kiwis tend to do) – but most of my 14+ years of creating and teaching has had one overriding theme: bringing others along for the ride as we all try to change the world with our stories, our labours of love and our art.
I'm a certified Adobe instructor (ACI) in Ireland. I'm also an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) and have completed the Adobe Certified Associate training (ACA). And I don't just do Adobe. Remember, media is a very broad term – digital blew out the borders, so we are all constantly learning.
I've been teaching for 14+ years. I come from being a media designer and content creator – so I understand exactly where you're at now. I've been there. I love this stuff. Print, digital publishing, web and video. I can see how it all connects. And I can see how we can share those connections.

Lots of good info in this course and I would have given it a 5 except for almost all of it was covered in the essentails and advanced courses in the BONUS updates sections of those courses. For anyone who hasnt taken those courses this is easily a 4.5.

This guy! He is great! Taken a few courses by him. Very easy to understand, very easy to follow and not long winded! Have no problems following along or understanding anything. I have, with a few other courses, been confused or didn't understand somethings, but not this guy. I would definitely check out his videos!

Great course for everyone who hasn't already completed Dan's Photoshop Essentials and/or Advanced because it's more of a recap of the 2020 PS updates. But pretty cool that it's for free so check it out!

His explaining skills are great but I felt like the course was a bit too short, maybe he could have added more lessons or covered a more variety of lessons, but in general it contains solid information that might help you improve your workflow, and I will for sure watch it again to remember all the tips and tricks said!

I have already taken up a lot of Dan's courses, but saw this free one so wanted to go through it as a refresher or a workshop.

This is another great course by Dan. Some of this content is covered in his other courses on Ps and Ai but this is a great course on productivity and streamlining your work! It puts together all kinds of useful info and I will definitely be implementing this content to my workflow.

I lovee how Dan explains the course. It's easy to be followed and indeed, these new features in Photoshop 2020 make shorten the time. Thanks Dan, you are such a good instructor. See you in your other courses that I subscribed (XD and Photoshop for Advanced). Cheers.

The course was a perfect match for me. Learnt heaps of little shortcuts and tricks. Gave me great ideas for my workflow. Hey, i'm not afraid to use libraries anymore! Haha! Thanks Dan, you're the best!

Good instructor, Dan keeps you engaged with his witty and jovial personality. It's the first time I was exposed to him as an instructor, and it won't be the last.
