OUR TEAM
Tanvi Kumthekar
Illustrator
Tanvi has a degree in B.Des in Communication Design and is a (UI/UX Designer) by profession
Tanvi has been working as a professional Designer for more than 4 years now. She has been sketching and painting since school and made a lot of conscious effort to get better at drawing, especially human figures. Her parents and friends were usual recipients of wonky but well-intended caricatures and birthday cards :D
Inktober 2015 (Inktober, Ink+October, is an online event where anybody can draw anything with ink for each day of October and post it online) was the first time she posted a lot of her work online. The response she got and the joy she felt in the process, only encouraged her to continue illustrating.
If Tanvi is not working, you’ll find her curled up in a corner with an amazing book and a steaming hot cuppa coffee.

Sruthi Yejju
Editor
Sruthi Yejju has pursued B.Tech in Biotechnology but her passion for literary arts and art won over her formal degree. Today she works as an editor, book reviewer, writer, and art teacher.
Although Sruthi majored in Biotechnology, her passion always lied in literary pursuits. As a teenager, she worked part time as a technical writer in Bengaluru, India. As an adult, she moved on to working as a journalist for Times Newspapers in Peoria, Illinois, USA. As a mom now, she takes on freelance writing and editing projects, while teaching as an art teacher at a Montessori school in Michigan, USA. Her love for reading, writing and drawing has also resulted in a blog to share her work as well as to do professional book reviews. She hopes to have her own book out some time!
If Sruthi is not working, you will find her either reading a book sitting with her favorite reading buddy – her daughter, with their dog cuddled up next to them, or watching a movie with her husband
