About Sqratch
"WE'RE A REBELLION."
The profession still runs on pedigree: where you studied, who you worked for, what's in your portfolio. We'd rather see the idea.
"Every masterpiece begins with a Sqratch."
Sqratch started with a frustration: the design world is choked by credentials, portfolios, and the safe career path. The best ideas rarely come with the right pedigree attached.
We started as Micro Nation in 2020 and became Sqratch in 2025. Same mission, bigger scope: a place for students, practitioners, dropouts, and the self-taught to enter real competitions and get their work seen.

What We Do
Competitions
Open briefs with real prizes and a real jury. We judge the work, not the name attached to it.
Sqratch Blogs
Deep-dives into architecture theory, history, and the spaces pop culture forgot. Case studies, competition breakdowns, and the career advice school skips. Argument over compliance.
Objects
Things we design and make in-house: posters, prints, zines, and drawing tools. The same restraint we bring to everything else.
