“Ding!” - an email arrives at your inbox…
Subject: Change in….
You close your eyes and bury your face in your hands.
Here we go again.
You close your eyes and bury your face in your hands. Here we go again.
The project is ruined with every change - and you know, a change is always lurking in the darkness.
Designing feels pointless when everything you do can be trashed with a change of just one parameter.
You’re starting from scratch.
Renumbering elements, updating sheets one by one, copying annotations, double-checking model data, and operating across scattered programs drives you crazy.
Half asleep, you’re starting to fantasize about what you could have done if you were a dev.
Dark basement, hood covering your face flashed in the screenlight, cans of energy drinks scattered all over the desk.
You wake up. Scary. Not what you want.
5th coffee in. You work overtime to deliver the new design.
You go home exhausted, discouraged; no time or energy left for rest or a chit-chat with your loved ones.
This is NOT the reality you deserve.
This is NOT what you’ve studied for.
This is NOT the right use of your undeniable potential.
So let’s change it once and for all!

What I’ve enjoyed the most about the masterclass is not only what you teach, but how you do it: Presenting the exercises in a clear and motivating way Using analogies that help you understand complex concepts with a smile And yes… even including “memes” that make you laugh out loud, even when your brain cell is already fried!!! I still have a lot to learn, but what’s certain is that your way of explaining makes the journey much more fun and inspiring. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge in such a unique way. (...)"
"Learning Grasshopper can be super challenging and demotivating sometimes, but having tips and pills of knowledge is a great help! The newsletter is a great booster and a good help on many occasions. In addition, Kris is a super-helpful person willing to answer every question you may have!"
"I would like to express my sincere thanks for the Grasshopper course, and the way you presented the material made Grasshopper more understandable and accessible and special thanks for the quality of the content. Really the content of course is very fantastic."
"That was bloody awesome
You've shown me at least a couple of skills that were new to me. I consider myself quite experienced in Grasshopper.
I'm going to be hiring in my company this year and introducing engineers to your courses. Thank You"
"I've been following your tips for some time now and it's truly impressive, you have a way about thinking about automation that's just incredible, that being said automation doesn't mean thinking less, it means thinking more 😀 I've started using Grasshopper a year or so ago and I'm blown away by the power of computational design, so I love your tips! (...)"
"Thank you for all your work. In my mind you're one of the best Grasshopper educators out there! And your content is really clear and helpful!"
Instead of redesigning a bridge from scratch because a column was moved 10 cm to the left… 🫣 change just one parameter, and within seconds, the calculations, documentation, and the model will follow and update accordingly.
Save your mouse and dignity by automating manual, repetitive tasks and letting Grasshopper handle them for you while you focus on robust, kickass design. Create tools tailor-made for your current needs to defeat project challenges.
Stop jumping between disconnected software programs. Start exploring seamless integrations with more than 100 software programs in AEC - BIM software, Structural analysis, and Visualisation software, Data Analysis, and more.
Start enjoying your work, become a desired and better-paid expert , get a chance to work on complex and exciting projects, restore your work-life balance, and simply be happier and prouder of who you are as a professional.
10 years ago, as a Structure Engineer, I was struck by a thought: how come a qualified, self-respecting engineer spends hours on manual administrative tasks, or redoing the design from scratch upon each project change, and clicking my a** off? I worked overtime, had no time or energy for life, relationships, or rest.
I didn’t believe this is the reality of a modern era engineer. I was right.
Learning Computational design has radically changed the way I work and how I perceive myself as a professional. I built smart, automated workflows and custom tools that did the nitty-gritty work for me, while I could focus on what I was made for: engineering.
"I particularly enjoyed the very structure of the course - how it's been divided and neatly segmented into easily digestible sections. The videos are accompanied by practical exercises. Additionally, the content is based on real-life scenarios, which renders the entire experience credible and appealing. The author of the course comes across as a really approachable, professional, and easy-going expert, who is simultaneously a proficient speaker capable of conveying messages in a highly engaging and understandable manner. It embraces all the essential prerequisites to implement parametric design in our daily jobs."
"I can really recommend this course, because Kris breaks it down into blocks, makes you solve different tasks to really understand how Grasshopper works. With this course, you can easily find solutions to most problems you're running into regarding Grasshopper."
"Crisply defined topics helped me get back to specific chapters based on job requirements. Bonus chapters in the course helped me develop legible and properly formatted scripts. (...) I would definitely recommend this course to Structural Engineers who want to enter the world of parametric engineering using Grasshopper."
"Not only are you going to learn the basics, but you will also have plenty of practical examples so you can actually practice what you learn. (...) I respect how much time and effort Kris puts into his trainings. (...) if you join this training, you won't regret it!"
"A few words about Kris - his professionalism, dedication, enthusiasm, and knowledge inspired me to think differently and out of the box regarding road design and modeling. (...) The best organized course I have ever attended. (...) Kris was also always at our disposal for questions and eager to really help us.
"(...) you can start learning completely from scratch without knowing any programming language. I really like that the course is structured and divided into really small batches of information, so you never feel overwhelmed, and you can always find some time during the day to learn. (...) Kris has a great ability to transfer knowledge (...) He supports the whole course community (...). I would honestly recommend this course."
"I had some doubts about joining a beginner's course since I was already experienced in parametric design, but luckily, I got more than I expected from these lectures. (...) Kris was a very good teacher. He led us through essential fundamentals that I missed learning myself. His guidance put knowledge in the right places."
