One brief, dozens of designs, one winner you love.
Hatchwork runs design as a contest with escrow-protected payments — so you see real concepts before you commit, and designers are paid fairly on delivery.
- 1
Post a brief & fund escrow
Describe your project, set a prize, and fund it into escrow. Your money is held safely — designers only get paid when you approve the winner.
- 2
Designers compete
Vetted designers across Asia submit real concepts. Give feedback and ratings to steer the direction; revisions sharpen your favorites.
- 3
Pick the winner
Choose the concept you love. Escrow releases to the winner on final delivery, and you receive the original source files.
Frequently asked
What if I don’t like any of the designs?
Contests attract dozens of concepts, but if nothing fits, our team helps you re-brief or resolve the escrow per our refund policy.
When do designers get paid?
Never before you approve. Funds sit in escrow (HELD) and only release (RELEASED) after you pick a winner and receive the final files.
Who owns the final design?
You do. Full source files and rights transfer to you once the contest completes and escrow is released to the winner.
Can I work with one designer directly?
Yes — use Matching to post a request and receive quotes, or buy a ready-made package from the Market.
