About
Mostapha Sadeghipour Roudsari is a prominent computational designer and the co-founder of Ladybug Tools LLC. He initiated the development of the Ladybug Tools open-source project in 2012 to address inefficiencies and knowledge gaps in environmental building design workflows. The suite—including Ladybug, Honeybee, Butterfly, and Dragonfly—has become the de facto standard for environmental, energy, and comfort analysis in parametric software like Grasshopper. He holds a Master's in Environmental Building Design from the University of Pennsylvania, where he also served as a lecturer. He has previously held geometry and computational application developer roles at Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill and Thornton Tomasetti CORE-Studio. His current primary focus is developing Pollination, a cloud-based collaboration platform that he describes as the 'next generation' of Ladybug Tools.
