I am architecture graduate with a professional degree B.Arch in architecture and over 10 years of design experience. My expertise is in Rhino and Grasshopper, where I’ve helped both students and professionals improve their skills in parametric modeling, digital design, and architectural visualization.

I’ve taught in a variety of settings, from university-level architecture students to one-on-one tutoring sessions with design professionals. My approach is project-based and hands-on: I focus on helping you understand not only the software tools, but also how to apply them directly to coursework, portfolios, and real-world design problems.

In addition to Rhino and Grasshopper, I also tutor in V-Ray, Illustrator, and Photoshop, giving students a full digital toolkit for design communication. My students value my ability to simplify complex concepts, provide step-by-step guidance, and tailor lessons to their unique goals—whether that’s succeeding in school, preparing for licensure, or advancing in professional practice.

I have used it for creating architectural presentations.
Architecture

Architecture

I graduated from university with a Bachelors in Architecture. I have worked at various firms in Southern California doing projects from Residential to Commercial. I understand the process necessary to become an Architect in Southern California, this is valuable knowledge that someone new may want to learn about. My experience is in creating complete construction documents for Residential architecture. Also creating 3D models to visualize the final design.
AutoCAD

AutoCAD

I started using Autocad since I was in school for Architecture. I have experience drafting architectural construction documents for small and large projects ranging from Residential to Commercial. Autocad has been an essential tool for every office I have worked at, and becoming a good drafter takes time and practice, but once you learn the essentials, nothing will be able to stop you. My Autocad expertise ranges from Layer organization, external references, blocks, dynamic blocks, annotative scaling to design tips like architectural space planing and other fun tricks. My aim here is to empower your design skills through the use of drafting tools to communicate your design effectively. The Main purpose for Autocad is for drafting and creating construction documents. This tool used in conjunction with other programs like Sketchup and Protoshop, you are able to visualize the project from every perspective.
Sketchup

Sketchup

I started using Sketchup since I was first in school for Architecture. I have experience drafting architectural construction documents for small and large projects ranging from Residential to Commercial. Sketchup has been an amazing new tool in this Architectural industry. With this tool I am able to comunicate to clients and other coworkers and improve the quality of the project. It can also be a fun tool to learn to design an unlimited number of things. I use it to design objects to 3D print. It also helps me sketch any Idea I may have and view it from all different angles My Sketchup expertise is in 3D modeling and using it for construction documents or fabrication. My aim here is to empower your design skills through the use of drafting tools to communicate your design effectively.

Great teacher! Helped me with everything I needed!

I showed him an example of what my professor expected and we were able to go above the expectations within one session. David was super descriptive and a great explainer. I was scared using rhino, but I feel a lot more comfortable using it after our session.

patiently taught & reviewed

David was helpful teaching time saving steps. Helped organize workspace by showing layers, colors etc... to make it easy to work on each layer.

David was able to thoroughly explain panel detailing, elevations, and sections. His teaching skills and knowledge are great- clear and direct. It was super helpful!!

Lavinia , 2 lessons with David

AMAZING!!!

David is incredibly skilled, patient, and super passionate about AutoCAD. I learned way more than I expected to learn in just a short 2 hour session. Definitely recommend!

Jonathan, 6 lessons with David

patient, helpful, knowledgeable

David has taught me so many shortcut commands and efficient ways to use photoshop, illustrator, autocad, and especially rhino. I feel much more comfortable using all these programs after just a few months. He offers feedback on concepts and ideas and teaches different ways of graphic communication, which is incredibly helpful for students new to architecture fields. He would make an outstanding teacher not just because of his knowledge and intuition but more so, his patience and his general enthusiasm for exposing his students to new ways of representation, leading efficient ways to use different software programs, and introducing his own methodology of how to approach each project. I have made immense progress with him in just one semester, thank you David !!

Very knowledgeable and patient!

David taught me how to do stairs in Rhino, make new materials, and apply 3D accessory blocks. David is VERY knowledgeable in Rhino, is a good teacher, and really patient. I highly recommend him and look forward to using David's tutoring services in the future.

I learned more with David in the 2 plus hours than I did in the semester I’ve been in school. I will be calling him again. He was very patient and taught like a teacher. He was very concerned to make sure you understood what he was teaching you
