Meet Your Official Rhino® Trainer

Empowering Architectural Designers to Create More in Less Time

Hi, I’m Thomas Jeremy Tait, a Certified Rhino Trainer (ART) and a practicing architect with over a decade of experience in the award-winning architecture firm Snøhetta. I’m here to help you harness the power of Grasshopper for Rhino to design faster, explore more imaginative geometries, and confidently bring your creative vision to life.

Why Learn from a Certified Rhino Trainer?

  • McNeel-Endorsed Expertise: Achieving official ART certification means I’m recognized by Rhino’s creators themselves. This assures you’ll learn industry best practices and proven workflows, not just academic theory.
  • Real Architecture Experience: I’ve worked hands-on at internationally recognized architecture practices, solving a range of practical design challenges. You’ll learn real-world Grasshopper skills—tested on actual projects.
  • Modern Computational Design: Grasshopper doesn’t have to be scary or time-consuming. I specialize in teaching a streamlined, design-first approach so you can focus on creativity instead of wrestling with the software.

What You Can Expect

  • Faster Design Turnaround
    Imagine quickly iterating through complex shapes, patterns, or façade concepts that once took days to model—now done in hours.
  • Greater Creative Freedom
    Break through modeling limitations, giving your designs the freedom to go beyond standard CAD workflows.
  • Professional, Job-Ready Skills
    Stand out in any architectural or design office with advanced computational fluency. Colleagues and clients alike will recognize you as a technical leader.

Your Success Is My Mission

My core goal is straightforward: to give architects and designers a direct, no-fluff path to mastering Grasshopper—one that helps you design more, stress less, and enjoy the architectural process again. I’ll show you how to handle last-minute changes gracefully, keep up with ambitious design briefs, and discover that parametric modeling can actually be fun when you have the right guide.

Let’s Connect

If you’re excited to take your design capabilities to the next level—or simply curious about how Grasshopper can fit into your practice—I’d love to hear from you.

Because your time is precious, I’ve designed my course and coaching to be results-focused—so you can quickly level up your modeling and accelerate your career. Let’s build a more creative, efficient, and fulfilling future in architecture together.
