Hi! I’m Craig Carpenter @imcraig247
I’m Craig, an artist, designer, inventor, and creator based in Asheville, NC. I craft uncommon ideas into objects and experiences that spark joy, curiosity, and connection. I love turning a spark of an idea into something real, tangible, and worth experiencing, whether that means making an object, inventing an activity, creating an experience, or bringing people together in an unexpected way.
