SketchDeck (YC W14) is hiring its first employee (sketch-deck.com) - 70 days ago
We're now looking for our first employee. (...) You are going to run SketchDeck day-to-day whilst masterminding our scale to become the biggest design agency in the world.
Specifically, it looks like a linearly scalable enterprise (consulting-like: they provide custom design on demand).
