Tutoring for
Grasshopper for Parametric Design
Turn ideas into systems — build powerful, flexible scripts with confidence.
About the lessons
Feel like Grasshopper is just a confusing mess of wires and components? You’re not alone. I help you cut through the noise with a clear logic-first approach to scripting. We’ll demystify the structure of parametric thinking, link it directly into your Rhino workflow, and create efficient, purposeful scripts. From attractor logic and panelisation to clean, user-friendly controls, you’ll gain practical tools to elevate your designs with complexity and control. I also support troubleshooting for your existing definitions and help you understand why things work—not just how.
Each session is guided by your needs, whether you’re just opening Grasshopper for the first time, solving a mid-project problem, or trying to get your scripts presentation-ready. So, reach out and let’s start building beautifully logical design together!
What we can cover
• Attractor systems & responsive geometries
• Data visualisation workflows and graph-mapping
• Baking geometry & managing definitions
• Structuring large definitions for clarity
• Interface & data flow logic
• Understanding lists, trees & data structures
• Parametric control with sliders & expressions
• Transformations: move, rotate, scale, morph
• Geometry creation: curves, surfaces, meshes
• SubD workflows
About your instructor
I’ve been working with Grasshopper for over a decade, not just as a plugin but as a core part of how I model and think through design. Grasshopper allows me to have freedom in how I approach architecture, automation, and even generative art—where I’ve used it to produce thousands of unique pieces through custom algorithms.
My teaching is structured but flexible. I know how overwhelming visual scripting can feel, so I focus on building strong foundational thinking. I was trained in Grasshopper professionally, and I believe it should be learned in tandem with Rhino, not as a bolt-on skill. Whether you’re an architect, artist, or designer, I’ll help you harness its power without getting lost in the complexity.
