Reshmi Shekhar is an architect and illustrator based out of Bangalore. She runs design store & studio Curiosity Kills The Cat (www.cktcstore.com) and is always up for a chat if you offer coffee.

Why are you an Illustrator?
I’m actually an architect (by profession). I’m an illustrator because I’m a distracted architect that’s always doodling.

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
Yes I did; I studied architecture for 5 years in RV School of Architcture. (Bangalore). I owe all my design sensibilities and interest in the field to my peers and profs at college. Architecture is an extremely demanding course, and looking back at the methodology of our projects and coursework, I realise that it was a very wholesome art oriented- problem solving approach that translates to all fields of design.
