Introducing
A living, breathing,
collaborative,
digital scrapbook.
Some moments don't fit in a photo album. They live in the way the light hits the trees just right, the song that was playing on repeat, the feeling in your chest when you were all together. Tapestry is a living digital scrapbook built for that.
Press and hold anything in your photos and videos — a face, a silhouette, a skyline — and cut it out. Weave it into a growing canvas that captures not just what you saw, but what it felt like. Add music. Layer in a video of your friends with the background stripped away. Watch your moments collide into something that actually resembles a memory and share it.
Tapestry is built for groups — collaborate with your friends, weave your perspectives together, and build something none of you could have made alone.
It's nostalgia you can touch. A feeling made visible. A trip your friends can finally understand, even if they weren't there.
What's inside
An infinite canvas you can share with your friends to create on together — add photos, videos, music, and more, all in one place.
Hold down on your photos in the canvas to remove the background.
Weave in the music you and your friends played on your trip into your Tapestry. Listen to all of your favorite songs.
Add in videos and remove the backgrounds to weave them into the Tapestry.
Hold down on them to interact with them.
1. Originally, a literal and often physical pain caused by an intense desire to return home; homesickness.
2. A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
Root word breakdown
Scrapbooking is about taking nostalgia, the emotions you feel, and the memories you have, and processing them artistically. It’s important to process your past; in a way, it can help ground you in the present.
Our Mission
Tapestry is restoring and refreshing the tradition of scrapbooking in the digital age with a collaborative touch. Scrapbooking has been a part of American history since its inception. People like Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain were passionate scrapbookers. It has persisted as a hallmark of creative minds and individual thinkers for hundreds of years.
A nearly forgotten art: the dawn of the iPhone and the full digitalization of photos has left the art of stitching your photos into breathing memories by the wayside. While many still scrapbook, the number of photos at your fingertips to weave together has been significantly diminished. Tapestry seeks to help us tap into our massive libraries of digital photos and unpack their true value.

I am a very nostalgic person, and I often get trapped in my dreams of the past: a song that I used to play all the time or an unforgettable camping trip. I loop myself back over and over again in my head. Tapestry is a project near and dear to my heart because I see it as a way to help process my nostalgia and ground myself in the present.
I think that a lot of people in my generation feel the same way. I see my generation as being in a crisis of identity. We are trapped in a rapidly changing world, stuck dreaming about our past, while looking towards the future with uncertainty. Tapestry is intended to be a therapeutic way to take nostalgia from our past and weave it into a memory in our present. It allows us to come together and see the way our friends reflect on the same world.
I hope that my passion project can bring as much joy to you as it has brought to me!
