# Using the Modern Standard Email Design System to create an email

Modern Standard is a built-in Email Design System that every Taxi account has access to. You can build your emails in Taxi using this Email Design System by following the steps below:

1. Create a new Project in your account
2. Select an Email Design System as you create your Project\
   The Email Design System will then be added to the default mailing in your project.
