Your Majesty — 10 things
31 March 2023 · Issue #278

Hey ,

In this week’s issue, a call to slow down the pace of AI development, Metaverse Fashion Week went cross platform and Pepsi has a brand new look. 

We are excited to share that our high-performing, sleek redesign for Famous Birthdays is live. We worked closely with the team to help this digital database, which can be described as “Wikipedia for Gen Z,” in its journey to become the most user-friendly website on the internet. 

Finally, we waved goodbye to our Junior Designer Chess this week and took part in a team painting workshop to celebrate her time with us. Catch her final 10 Things cover art just below. 

Until next time, 

⚔️ Your Majesty
