Working with Ertunc as a coach to build my portfolio has been a career-changing experience that went way beyond my initial expectations. Many may know Ertunc as a computational design expert. Through working with him closely, however, I have discovered that Ertunc is simply much more than that: he is an outstanding leader with an exceptional talent for teaching and motivating others to do their very best with a positive, self-reflective and healthy mindset. Ertunc's ability to tailor his advice to my very own situation and to give the right guidance based on context, without dogma, are rare gifts among specialists. I started the coaching with some very scattered, unpresentable work and a very vague, over-ambitious and therefore unproductive idea of how to deliver the portfolio as a whole. Coaching with Ertunc on a twice-a-week basis gave me a structured roadmap, from base camp to summit. Starting an adventure with a guide is completely different from having no guide and having to figure out everything on one's own. I will be forever grateful for his earnest and relentless push (always cordial, respectful and with a lot of warmth) for me to leave my comfort zone at exactly the right time. This is exactly what coaching is about: pushing you to confront uncomfortable realities and make adjustments accordingly, instead of giving you sugar-coated feedback. I will also be forever grateful for his willingness to accept a success-shared payment model. No one else in the architectural world does this, absolutely no one. This shows Ertunc's patient way of seeing coaching as an investment in a person's success and his genuine wish to make you succeed. As a result of working with Ertunc, I evolved from having no presentable portfolio and feeling very stuck with a non-traditional master's degree, to having a very strong portfolio that earned me interviews with leading firms in Berlin, Hamburg and Karlsruhe, and eventually landed a solid architect role covering LPH 1–5 in a German university town.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a recent client win that honestly means a lot to me. We worked together on rebuilding her architecture portfolio and career direction. When we started, she already had strong work, but the portfolio was not clearly showing her ability, thinking, or value yet. She recently shared her experience inside the community, and I wanted you to read it in her own words: https://www.skool.com/grasshopper3d-lab-6917/1-on-1-coaching-with-ertunc?p=0cc94aa7 This is a great reminder that your portfolio is not just a PDF. It is a career tool. If your portfolio feels unclear or unstructured right now, and you want help creating a stronger direction, you can book a strategy call here: https://calendly.com/ertunchunkar/strategy-call Ertunc

In this video, I explain dot product in Grasshopper without making it overly mathematical. The main idea is simple: - Dot product compares two vector directions - 1 means same direction - 0 means perpendicular - -1 means opposite direction - Unit vectors make the result easier to understand Watch here Book a strategy call

In this video, I explain cross product with a simple curve example. The main idea is simple: - Cross product compares two vectors - It creates a new perpendicular vector - Curve tangents give one direction - Unit z gives the second direction - The result can create curve normals Watch here Book a strategy call

In this video, I explain why data matching is one of the most important ideas in Grasshopper. The example is simple: two curves, two sets of points, and lines between them. But when the point counts do not match, the result changes. The main idea is simple: - Matching lists creates clean connections - Different point counts create unexpected results - Grasshopper follows the data structure you give it - Better control starts with checking inputs and outputs Watch here Book a strategy call
