Meet our founder, Ikey Baker

Throughout my childhood, I've always had this vision of creating a vehicle that efficiently inspires freedom, creativity, and empowerment. After graduating, the last thing I wanted was to feel trapped within society’s norms. I took this as an opportunity to embark on that vision.

I began to use my previous skills in design, woodworking, and mechanics to craft my 2006 Sprinter into my home. Having the ability to design a space directly suited to me and my needs quickly became an intense passion of mine. So much so, I decided to do it again, and again, and again...

One of my favorite parts about living in a van is how easy it is to say “yes”. When your vehicle is your home, and your home is your vehicle, the feeling of preparedness exists within at all times. Every van I’ve put on the road has one thing in common. Their new owners were all gifted a sense of freedom.

After collaborating with multiple van companies, I have decided to strike out on my own. My mission with Crafted Rigs is to convert your vision into a vessel for freedom, spontaneity, and streamlined adventure.
