Finding Your Voice | Lucie Fink | TEDxFIT

When it comes to being a content creator, it's all about finding your voice and preferred medium. Lucie explores her journey into stop motion video production (the real driving force behind her current creative role at Refinery29) and explains how, only once she allowed herself to explore and create freely, she discovered where her true passion lies. Lucie Fink is a Refinery29 video producer and lifestyle host as well as stop motion artist and social media influencer. At Refinery29, she created and hosts the hit KZbin series "Try Living with Lucie" where she takes on social experiments for 5 days at a time, documenting her experience vlog-style. The series won 2 bronze Telly Awards in 2017 (Best Lifestyle Content & Best Webseries). In addition to Try Living with Lucie, she has created a plethora of other video formats for Refinery29 that she hosts and produces - "Lucie for Hire" (where she tries doing another person's job for the day), original pieces for Snapchat Discover, Facebook LIVE and more.
A 2014 graduate from Johns Hopkins University, Lucie graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in creative writing and a concentration in media. She has made numerous appearances on NBC’s Today Show as a Millennial spokesperson, discussing a wide range of topics relevant to her generation.

[@biancaacquaviva1943]

Lucie Fink this is amazing!! ❤ much love xx

[@gracieshepardtothemax1743]

Thank you for sharing! I needed this "talk". You and your videos brighten my day!

[@christie432]

Loved it!

[@kyaroriina2023]

Lucie Fink I loved the “motto” - “Turn trying into a lifestyle” inspirational 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@kate2klava]

“I love smoothies! This one is with apple, banana, honey, lavender, fiber and cinnamon) I’ve also spent half a day cleaning up, getting rid of stuff I don’t need and organizing my belongings. All this inspired by Lucie from KZbin, check her out” that’s the Russian caption in the bottom right😉

[@deaj726]

So great she did a TED talk, but I don't think the title fits the talk. I think calling this "why it's time to try" or something along those lines would be much better suited.

[@LaurenFrench555]

Lucie reminds me that being young should never hold you back❤

[@FedericaMutti]

Lucie, I follow you since your first videos on Refinery29 and I always feel so inspired by the positive energy you share through your series and social media! This TED Talk was incredible and I'm so proud of you! I really enjoyed your "TRY-philosophy" and the story about your first interview at Refinery29, I totally relate to it and I will keep it in mind for my future career. Thank you so much for your daily dose of enthusiasm and congratulations for all your success, wishing you all the best! Lots of love from Milan, Italy :)

[@lifeofaladybear64]

LOVE LUCIE'S VIDEOS!

[@luciebfink]

Life Of A Lady Bear wow thank you!!!

[@amaliesofiavestergaard]

Not exactly what 'hygge' means. It's not a 'lifestyle' but more a phenomenon. It can be described as a situation that is both cozy, comfortable, familiar, safe and good all in once. It is also used as a way of describing certain places. When used in that sense, we say that a place is 'hyggeligt'. This is similar to cozy. - Good video. Thank you for this.

[@juliettearagon5071]

omg I enjoy Lucie's videos quite a bit. :0

[@komaltalat299]

I have been following your videos since last year and I love them! Even got my sister hooked onto it ! I love the way you try to remain positive at all times. More power to you girl :*

Hi Lucie! !! I'm a big fan of your videos, I was wondering if you like to try 5 days of playing musical instruments, I'm a bassonist from Venezuela living in Argentina. . I think it would be a exciting challenge.

This is so millennial. Well, at least you tried... Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy watching Lucie's videos. I just have to laugh at the "trying is the new doing" mantra.
