Lauren Riihimaki's foray into the DIY blogging world, and eventually YouTube, was no accident. After enrolling in a Graphic Communications Management course at Ryerson University in Toronto, she realized that, while the course provided future employment opportunities, it did not allow her to showcase her creative talents, which she was desperate to find an outlet for. She frequently used her creativity to redecorate her "prison-like" residence room with DIY items.
On a boring day, she Googled how to create websites and was directed to the WordPress platform, where she created her first blog, "Desire & Inspire." She began by guiding her readers through her DIY blogs with pictures depicting various stages of the creative process.
However, she eventually concluded that a video demonstration would be far more effective. As a result, she sought out the YouTube platform to upload her videos, which she will later embed in her blogs.

Her creative DIY videos have earned her up to 5.4 million YouTube subscribers, as well as over 5 million more followers on Instagram and Twitter combined.

She discovered a number of images in old photos of herself as a child that she now recognizes as hidden signs of her creativity. The one image she has specifically chosen for this purpose is one in which she can be seen cutting out a cardboard box (with the help of her father). Throughout her adolescence, she nurtured her creativity, which eventually found the right platform via her YouTube channel.
