About Rachel
Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m a Graduate Architect, Computational Designer and PhD researcher at UNSW, with experience across architectural practice, computational design, university teaching and research.
My current PhD research focuses on computational design, robotic fabrication and large-scale 3D printing for architecture and construction. I also have experience tutoring university students across architectural design, technical subjects and digital workflows.
I really enjoy teaching and helping students build confidence in both architectural design and computational tools. I understand that programs like Rhino and Grasshopper can initially feel overwhelming, so I focus on breaking down complex tools and concepts into clear, practical steps that can be applied directly to your own projects.
Whether you need help developing a design, learning new software, improving your computational workflow, troubleshooting Grasshopper or preparing a university project, I’m happy to tailor sessions to your individual goals and skill level.

Hi! I’m Rachel, an architecture and computational design tutor with experience across architectural practice, university teaching, and research.
I can help students with architectural design, computational design, digital modelling, parametric workflows, and design communication, whether you’re looking for ongoing tutoring or some extra support with a particular assignment or project.
My areas of tutoring include:
* Architectural design and studio projects
* Rhino 3D
* Grasshopper and parametric design
* Computational design workflows
* 3D modelling and digital fabrication
* Architectural drawings, diagrams and presentation
* Portfolio development
* Design concept development and refinement
* Research and academic writing for architecture/design
* General assignment and project guidance
I have professional experience working in a range of architectural practices, alongside experience teaching architecture students at university level. I am also currently completing a PhD at UNSW focused on computational design, robotic fabrication and large-scale 3D printing for architecture and construction.
My tutoring style is relaxed, practical and tailored to the individual student. I’m happy to work through a project with you, troubleshoot technical problems, help develop your design ideas, or teach software and computational workflows from the ground up.
Whether you're completely new to Rhino and Grasshopper or looking to develop more advanced computational design skills, I can tailor sessions to your experience and what you want to achieve.
