started building an AR drawing app in 2021 inspired by the children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon, but i always felt mobile lacked the real AR magic.
proud that Crayon is now available on the Vision Pro App Store

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding.
We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style.
We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today.
Welcome to the new Era.
Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.
Introducing Spatial Builders, my new series showcasing the developers behind the best visionOS apps and the ideas shaping Apple Vision Pro!
Episode 1 features Carson, the creator of Crayon, covering her dev journey, app inspiration, visionOS 3.0 wishes, and more. Full vid link👇

Vivo is a live broadcast, heard by everyone in the world at the same time.
Right now, it's music, tomorrow, it could be something else.
Tap & Tune in with other real people.
For the last month, I tested the capabilities and unrealized potential of the Apple Vision Pro as the art medium of the future. https://t.co/R9fzPJJkHG
My research on new psychology and spirituality is turning up not just new movements, but emerging social forms of community and belonging:
⦿ Centers, ⎈ Campuses, ⌂ Parlors, and ✽ Practices that connect people in place and space.
I might just have gotten a glimpse into the future of collaborative art-making – introducing @crayonar, a 3D drawing app for Vision Pro that also supports SharePlay and has quickly become my favorite tool for working with others via FaceTime.
I can easily see this being used to create mixed-reality artworks, where artists collaborate from opposite sides of the world or digitally enhance physical locations together in real time.
It’s also a game-changer for productivity, enabling better teamwork even when everyone is in the same place. Imagine using it to collaborate on mind maps, annotate construction sites, or plan layouts for commercial spaces.
Sure, you can play Tic-Tac-Toe together without the headset, and we mostly used it for making silly jokes—but think about the possibilities this app TRULY unlocks.
A big shoutout to @carsonlevine14 and @hunter_spatial for crafting such an incredible and well-made app!
I give it 4.5/5 Visions 🥽🥽🥽🥽🥽
