A character sketch can also be satiric, as in work by authors such as Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) and Thomas Pynchon (1933–) or modern-day television sit-coms. As a composition, a satiric sketch would likely need to be written in the character's voice and point of view to work.
Over the last ten years, Sketch has had a lasting impact on the design industry — but our work has only just begun! We have some ambitious plans to help people create their best work and design better products — and we need change-makers, open minds and fresh ideas to make them a reality.
montage#resized scroll@window->montage#scrolled'>Work at Sketch is some of the most challenging and rewarding I've done. I'm constantly inspired by the talented people I get to work with.
We've been a fully distributed company since day one and we cannot imagine it any other way. Today, there are over 100 of us, working together across more than 25 countries. We've never really had an office and we don't plan to open one. And that decision has shaped our values.

Job openings
Here's what happens after you apply:
- If we're interested in your application, we'll kick things off with a call to get to know you better, understand your current situation, your motivations and your goals.
- Often, we'll ask you to complete a practical exercise to give us an idea of how you work, communicate, and solve problems. This could be a coding challenge, a short quick task or a presentation you'll give in your next interview. It's also your chance to see how we work, get to know our product and understand our challenges.
- Your final interview stages will include a written Slack chat. It's how we communicate every day at Sketch, and we want to make sure you feel comfortable with it. If it's your first time interviewing over Slack, don't worry. Just hit return often, ignore your typos and remember to have fun!
- Whether you're successful or not with us, we'll always give you feedback. It's our way of saying thanks for the time and effort you put in to applying.

Clement Shorter and William Ingram started The Sketch in 1893.[2] Shorter was the first editor, from 1893 to 1900, succeeded by John Latey (until 1902) and then Keble Howard.[3]Bruce Ingram was editor from 1905 to 1946.
The magazine is chiefly remembered for first publishing the illustrations of Bonzo the dog by George E. Studdy (from 1921). It also published series of short stories within its pages, one per issue, with authors such as Walter de la Mare and Algernon Blackwood. Under the editorship of Bruce Ingram, it was also the first magazine to publish short stories by Agatha Christie, starting with 'The Affair at the Victory Ball' in issue 1571, dated 7 March 1923. Altogether, Christie wrote 49 stories for The Sketch between 1923 and 1924 (just under a third of her total output of short stories) which were later collected into some or all of the contents of the volumes Poirot Investigates (1924), The Big Four (1927), Partners in Crime (1929), Poirot's Early Cases (1974), and While the Light Lasts and Other Stories (1997). Christie dedicated the 1953 novel A Pocket Full of Rye to Ingram.
