Hi there! I’m Taryn.
digital creator • emerging actress • former fed turned full-time creative
Hi, I’m Taryn Lewis — also known as @tiktoktare online, born and raised in the DM(V) with bicoastal dreams of the big screen! I’m a Google-verified Digital Creator & emerging Actress blending theatrical training with high-impact visual storytelling.
My content spans beauty, fashion transitions, GRWMs, lifestyle storytelling, and performance-inspired reels. You’ll find polished campaigns and chaotic vlogs side by side; I love cinematic edits just as much as Story rants in a hoodie.
What started as a creative outlet during my 9–5 turned into something bigger than I ever imagined. Over time, 100K+ of you beautiful humans have somehow joined me on this wild ride through every pause, pivot and plot twist — and I’m endlessly grateful.
About
Before cameras and campaigns, I worked for the FBI providing operational support to various investigative units. A couple years into my career, I survived a shooting and two of my colleagues I considered family became angels. Close friends became complete strangers. PTSD was (and still is) a daily battle — and the job I’d spent nearly a decade pursuing suddenly became suffocating.
In the midst of my trauma, I turned to creating as an escape — an outlet to rediscover joy and reinvent myself. What started as a hobby became instrumental in my healing journey. I never expected to meet the version of myself who flinched at fireworks, cocooned instead of creating, and... slowly came back to life, one TikTok at a time.
In 2022, I decided to leave the Bureau to pursue content creation full-time leaning heavily into my inner child. I became self-taught in filming, editing, pitching, negotiating, digital design and business management. I started my own LLC, earned my HCM Certification and watched my childhood dream become my new reality.

These days, my brand is evolving. My content now blends bold beauty with softness and storytelling. You’ll still see GRWMs, macro-shot beauty, and transitions — but I’m also exploring BookTok, acting reels, and vlogging.
Think of my space as a cozy café with chaotic confidence on tap. A home for creators, survivors, soft girls, baddies-in-progress, and anyone figuring it out in real time — just like me. We laugh. We cry (often). We heal out loud.
As an emerging actress, I am expanding into film and television with foundational training, commercial experience, strong on-camera presence, and a growing professional profile. My IMDbPro STARmeter has placed me within the top 0.5% of all profiles—reflecting rising search interest in her work and presence.
Off-camera, I’m usually chasing local charm: farmers markets, festivals, slow mornings, and mountain resets. I flirt with minimalism, devour romantasy books, scout acting workshops, and spoil my two fur babies. The quiet digital detox fueling the chaos I bring online.
Whether you found me through a transition, a soft monologue, or a blooper reel… I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s grow, glow, and build this next chapter together.
