My teaching approach follows a structured workflow:
define the problem → understand the requirements → analyze the constraints → develop the geometry or data structure → create the drawing, model, or spatial analysis → verify accuracy → refine the solution → communicate it clearly

I do not simply demonstrate isolated commands. I help you understand why a workflow is appropriate, how information should be structured, how accuracy can be verified, how alternative solutions can be evaluated, and how the final technical idea should be communicated professionally.

We can work with your course syllabus, engineering problem, technical drawing, CAD file, Revit/BIM model, 3D model, parametric definition, GIS dataset, map, design project, portfolio, graphic layout, or professional workflow challenge.

Whether you are learning your first CAD commands, solving an engineering problem, developing a BIM workflow, building a 3D or parametric model, conducting spatial analysis, or improving technical visual communication, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, and pace.

My goal is to help you become an independent technical problem solver who can analyze, design, model, verify, visualize, and communicate solutions with confidence.

Learn digital illustration through personalized lessons focused on the areas you want or need to improve the most. The classes are adapted to your current level, artistic goals, and the kind of work you want to create.

We can explore different illustration techniques and approaches, including black-and-white artwork, grayscale painting, full-color illustration, character-focused pieces, and more stylized or rendered work. Rather than following the exact same program for every student, the lessons can focus on the techniques that are most useful for your development.

Depending on your goals, we can work on composition, color theory, lighting, anatomy, perspective, shape language, character design, visual storytelling, concept art, game art, and other fundamentals of digital illustration.

You can also bring your own illustrations, sketches, studies, or personal projects to class. We can analyze what is working, identify areas that could be improved, and work directly on the skills necessary to take your artwork further.

The goal is not only to learn specific tools or techniques, but also to develop a stronger understanding of the artistic decisions behind an illustration and gradually build a workflow that works for you.

I provide practical, one-to-one training in Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Vault, focused on helping students understand the software and apply it effectively to real engineering work.

The training can be adapted to your current level and objective. We can work through Autodesk Inventor concepts step by step, or take a completely hands-on approach where you create your own models while I guide you, identify issues, explain better methods and share practical modelling and engineering best practices.

For Autodesk Inventor, topics can include part modelling, assemblies, drawings, design intent, modelling strategies, constraints, parameters, design changes and general CAD best practices. If you already have experience with Inventor, we can focus on improving your modelling approach, solving specific problems or reviewing your existing work.

For Autodesk Vault, we can focus on understanding document and design data management, file organisation, versioning, revisions, check-in/check-out, working with CAD data and practical workflows for managing engineering files.

The lessons are not based on a fixed syllabus. I adapt each session to what you actually need to learn or solve. You can also bring your own model, exercise, project or specific problem and we can work through it together.

I have more than 14 years of experience working at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, CAD, PDM and PLM, so the focus is not only on which button to click, but also on understanding why a particular approach is useful in an engineering environment.

The lessons are suitable for students, engineering professionals, designers and anyone who wants to improve their practical Autodesk Inventor or Vault skills.

This personalized online 1:1 course teaches architecture students how to use sketching as a tool for thinking, exploring and developing original design ideas-not simply as a way of creating beautiful drawings.

You will learn how to transform inspiration, concepts and research into analytical diagrams, spatial studies and architectural sketches. We will explore composition, form, movement, light, material, scale and atmosphere while developing a clear visual process from the first idea to an architectural proposal.

The course is adapted to your individual level and projects. It is suitable for students who want to strengthen their design process, overcome fear of sketching, improve their studio work or create more meaningful portfolio pages. No advanced drawing skills are required-only curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

These lessons are designed for artists who want to learn how to create characters, creatures, figures and original designs in 3D, whether your goal is concept art, character development, digital art or 3D printing.

Rather than simply learning software tools, we will focus on the artistic decisions behind a successful sculpture: form, anatomy, proportions, silhouette, shapes, design and how to translate an idea into a convincing 3D piece.

Depending on your goals and experience, we can work on:

• Digital sculpting fundamentals and ZBrush workflow
• Human anatomy and figure sculpture
• Character and creature design
• Developing an idea or concept into a 3D sculpture
• Creating interesting shapes, silhouettes and visual details
• Improving an existing sculpture or portfolio piece

Do you want to create 3D assets and scenes for games, digital art, or university projects, without being held back by the complexity of the software? Sign up for a class and let's make learning 3D simple, practical, and fun.
Whether you are a total beginner or looking to further refine your skills, we will work with exercises covering the fundamentals of both the software but we will ALSO **break down the logic**, behind different types of 3D modeling, which can then be applied to any 3D software and asset!!!

Depending on your own preference we can focus on 3D box modeling, 3D sculpting, 3D clothing simulation, high poly to low poly pipelines or rendering with built-in but also external engines. We can create scenes, render visuals for your own projects or prepare assets for game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity.

Having formally trained as an Art Teacher, I value learning that not only gives you a strong toolkit to work with, but teaches you how to continue building these skills -on your own- after the class is over.

Lessons offered in English (Online).
