Sketching isn’t just visual.
It’s a tool for design thinking, architectural study, and
a way of life.

Ar. Rushikesh Gawade is an architect & educator in Mumbai,
with over five years of professional experience.

He designs with sketching at the core — whether luxury outlet malls shown in Cannes, flood-relief housing in Kolhapur, or proposals for migrant worker housing awarded by UltraTech. He earned the Best Outgoing Student Award from L.S. Raheja School of Architecture and served as President of the Student Council and Design Cell.

Rushikesh has developed his architectural practice around sketching throughout his career. He now shares his process via online courses, workshops, blogs, and 1:1 sessions — helping students, architects, and designers enhance creativity, clarity, and design thinking through drawing.
