“It will take ages before
I can apply it…”
“A day has 24 hours and
I have projects to deliver“
“Is it at all useful for engineers?”
I have been there too!
Don't worry, I thought about it all when creating this unique training program.
Here’s what I have prepared for you

Is this training program for you?
- You understand that the character of design projects, where “change is the only constant” requires solutions that make adapting to the change time- and cost-efficient, and effortless.
- You realize that solving design challenges manually is not what a self-respecting modern engineer should do.
- You grew tired of repetitive manual tasks and want to make your everyday work more sensible, efficient, and not to mention, exciting.
- You want to take your design skills to the next level to create more advanced models and work on challenging projects that require the application of the newest technologies.
- You want to grow as a professional, have more confidence in your own competence, and approach challenges in a creative manner to produce long-term and sustainable solutions.
- Grasshopper Fundamentals is not “just another course”. It is your first step becoming the engineer you want to be – highly skilled, independent, and forward-thinking. Rome was not built in “8 weeks”, but you can definitely build solid fundaments of your Parametric Design proficiency within this time – if you let me guide you through the process with loads of practical knowledge and fun, engaging assignments.
Why this training program?
Years ago, all by myself, I went through the transition you are about to begin.
Since then I had the privilege to work on world-class projects and my work was recognized with awards on national and world scale. Knowing how much it changed my professional life, giving me the opportunity to work on projects I have never dreamt of, I want to help you get there too.
The training has a unique structure, balancing 20% of theory with 80% of practice. The tasks you will be working on are not only practical – they are engaging and gamified, with clues for one task hidden in another. They challenge you but at the same time are manageable and match your level of expertise at every step of the training.
This training program is a perfect blend of my experiences of self-learning and working on top-class Parametric design challenges.

Grasshopper Fundamentals Training is an obvious advantage for you as an engineer but also for your company. You can always try to get reimbursement for your work!
If you work as an engineer, consultant, or architect and you aren’t sure how to get your employer to fund this training, I created a One Pager for your manager that will help persuade them to purchase the training for you.
Absolutely!
Even if you’re an advanced user, I would recommend that you go through all the materials. I promise that you will learn new things.
Many advanced Grasshopper users went through this training and still learned A LOT. In GFT, I go through all the tips and tricks necessary to become an expert in Grasshopper. (I spent last two years summarizing all of them). I am 100% sure that even if you have used Grasshopper, you will find something new in this training.
Moreover, I also go over how to build well-structured and straightforward scripts. Therefore, you can collaborate with other Grasshopper users and not be ashamed of your ‘Spaghetti Monster’ scripts anymore.
Grasshopper Fundamental Training is a well-structured course. If you still have problems understanding data trees, don’t know how to work with complicated data structures, or feel uncertain about using Grasshopper, then please join me in GFT.
