I teach the thing I design with myself.
For over 15 years I have worked with Rhino and Grasshopper — not as a trainer who gives courses in them, but as a designer who looks for forms with them and builds the road from there into fabrication himself. Most of it happens by trying things, not by planning. You notice both in the training: how a form is found, and how to build the workflow around it so it survives the next change.
What I actually work on
Four screens from live files. None of them is a course example — they are attempts that either became something or did not. The large stage and installation builds happen the same way: play around first, then decide, then fabricate. These are the definitions we build in the training, on your project.
Seven workshops at DesignMorphine
DesignMorphine is an international training programme in computational design — taught by people who produce with it in studios and workshops, not by career trainers. I completed seven of its workshops between 2020 and 2022, each with a different tutor.

From people who sat through it
The one-to-one Rhino 8.0 training with Björn Jelinek in March 2024, split across several online sessions, moved me forward enormously. Since then I understand Rhino far better and faster, the models are more accurate, the results are many times better, and it is simply fun to build really cool things with Rhino.
The Rhino 8 course with its focus on Grasshopper exceeded my expectations, thanks to Björn. As a beginner I benefited from his clear, step-by-step explanations. Topics covered the interface, 2D and 3D design, SubD and Grasshopper. His practical, professional approach helped me understand real applications. An absolute recommendation for anyone learning Rhino 8.
I watched Björn work with Rhino and Grasshopper a great deal, and either he already knew the answer or he had good, creative ways of getting to one. What he has built in the way of tools is genuinely impressive. Whenever I came to him with a question he could always help, and I had the feeling he enjoyed doing it.

A short call is usually enough to see whether and how it can be solved. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
