Creating What Lies Beneath: Inside Zack Carr’s Journey

I recently sat down with my long-time friend and fellow creative, Zach Carr, to hear his story. It’s powerful listening to a young artist open up about discovering who they are. Zach started with simple doodles, moved into rapping and graphic design, and now he’s fully embraced his artistry—crafting physical pieces across multiple mediums and building merchandise for his brand, What Lies Beneath. Even with a full-time job, he still shows up at events as a vendor, consistently sharing and selling the work he loves. That kind of passion is truly inspiring.
