Artworks
Browse
With Celebrating Home, you can browse through collections of nature-themed digital artworks that are #MadeOniPad by me and gain insight into what inspired me to create them.
View in AR
On iPhone and iPad, you can view artworks in your space using augmented reality (AR) — they come to life, and offer an escape into landscapes, and creating an immersive experience.
Portal
On Apple Vision Pro, view artworks at a life-like scale that immerse you in Spatial Audio, transporting you to their unique environments.
Widgets and StandBy
Add artworks to your iPhone, iPad home screen or Mac Desktop as widgets. You can also view artworks in StandBy when your iPhone is placed on its side while charging.
Create
Templates
Unleash your creativity by drawing on top of the templates in the Create tab. Create personalized images, save your doodle, share it with the world.
Fingers, Pencil, Hands
Draw with your fingers on iPhone, use the Apple Pencil on iPad, or use your hands to draw across the canvas on Vision Pro.
Stickers
Messages and FaceTime
Celebrating Home includes a variety of stickers designed to facilitate conversations about expressing gratitude for the planet. Peel & paste stickers on images or text bubbles in your Messages conversation or add stickers as effects during a FaceTime call.
System-wide
The sticker drawer is in the emoji keyboard, so you can use Celebrating Home stickers in any app where you can access emoji. Use Markup to add Celebrating Home stickers to photos, documents, screenshots, and more.
Visual Craft
Icon Design
The icon features metallic and glass textures, inspired by the windows of a spaceship. The gradient colors behind the glass are inspired by the hues of Earth’s atmosphere. I hope this icon will invite viewers to explore Earth's beauty through its artistic experience. The design has been meticulously crafted for iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro homescreens, as well as for its sticker app counterpart.
