During her time at college itself, Lena had already created several short films which she used to upload on Youtube. Many of her works were made relevant as per the issues that young people tend to face. Among her films, Pressure was a big success which was released in 2006.

Even more, success would follow for Lena as in 2011 HBO approved Girls in their network and the series started to garner massive attention as good as episodes of the show started to flow in. The first season was especially a big hit which led to Lena getting four Emmy Award nominations which included nominations not only for directing but also for writing and acting.

Lena has also found success as a book author having released Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s “Learned” which became The New York Times Best Seller peaking at the number 2 spot.
