Context

I designed and launched a 0 → 1 iOS app to the App Store in eight weeks of weekend work.

Problem

People could browse millions of premade stickers, but they had no easy way to create one that felt personal.

Solution

Pixora lets people turn an idea, drawing, or photo into a personalized sticker they can save, share in Messages, and explore in AR.

Design process

How the creation flow evolved

I evolved the creation flow from a blank input into an outcome-first experience that gave users clearer ways to begin.

Users didn't know how to create high-quality stickers using only an input field.

Onboarding

To remove the uncertainty of starting from a blank input, I added step-by-step onboarding that guides users in creating personalized, high-quality stickers.

Final experience

What users can do with Pixora

Turn an idea or photo into a personalized sticker and save it to your sticker book.

Outcome

Launch

I shipped Pixora to the App Store as a 0 → 1 product after eight weeks of weekend work.

What I learned

Showing possible outcomes before asking people to create helped them form intent before writing a prompt.

What I would validate next

I would measure onboarding completion, generation-to-save conversion, repeat generation, and which starting point—photo, example, or prompt—produces the most stickers people keep.
