Sponsoring the RGD Student Awards

Being a design student right now is scary. I get it.

I graduated in 2007, right on the doorstep of a financial crisis. Jobs were scarce, confidence was fragile, and the future felt vague.

That's why Pixels& is sponsoring the RGD Student Awards, specifically the Award for Web Design.

Technology is reshaping design. It always has. AI will automate tasks — it already is. But design has never been just about tools. It's empathy. It's taste. It's truly understanding the context. That's the work, and it's not something AI can replace.

The world still needs designers, even when the noise says otherwise.
