Armen AdamjanEnvironmental Content Creator AKA "Creative_Explained""I’m Armen Adamjan, or better known as creative explained on social media. Originally from Europe, moved to the US as a 14 year old. I developed a passion for film making and decided to pursue it as a career. My goal has always been to inspire the world in any way that I can using my creative abilities, but I didn't figure out exactly how I would, until Covid-19 came around. While being on lock-down, I shared some plant/garden tips and other types of life hacks on TikTok, which quickly went viral.
