creator

One who originates

A creator is someone who brings something into existence.

The word ranges from the divine—the Creator often refers to God—to the everyday: a creator of recipes, of chaos, of content.

In recent usage, creator has become shorthand for someone who produces material for social media platforms: She's a full-time creator on YouTube.
