About Me

I’m Don Rider, an author, educator, and digital creator dedicated to helping beginners confidently navigate the world of technology, creativity, and online productivity. As a Professor at Louisiana Tech University, I focus on making powerful tools like Adobe Creative, Microsoft Office, ChatGPT, Canva, and digital publishing platforms accessible and easy to use. My mission is to break down complex concepts into simple, step-by-step guides that empower readers to create, automate, and grow—whether they’re building a brand, designing content, or launching digital products.

I’ve authored a growing library of beginner-friendly books, including the Beginner’s Guide to ChatGPT, How to Create a Template in Canva, and Build Your Brand in Canva, with more topics coming soon. My resources often include bonus templates, worksheets, and visual walkthroughs to help readers take immediate action. Through my platform SBC Books, I share tools, strategies, and insights for creators, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners. Whether you’re setting up your first kegerator or your first ebook, I’m here to help you make it happen.
