“Arya's feisty, a bit of a rebel, a tomboy. she is also quite brave and quick thinking, she wants to be listened to but sees everything very black and white... bit like me really! She’s a real person, and sometimes you’re going to disagree with what she does. That’s what I love about the show.”

In 2011, aged fourteen and following her second acting audition, Williams debuted in her first professional acting role as Arya Stark, a character in the main cast of the HBO medieval fantasy epic television drama Game of Thrones (2011–2019), a portrayal that quickly brought the new actress global attention. Williams received critical praise and acting accolades for her work on the show, including two Primetime Emmy Award nominations.

In 2014 Williams starred in her first feature film, the melodramatic coming of age mystery drama The Falling, for which she also received critical approval and award recognition. In 2018, she made her stage debut in Lauren Gunderson's I and You at the Hampstead Theatre, London, to positive reviews. Williams' other television appearances include guest starring in 2015 in four episodes of the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, the 2015 British television film docudrama Cyberbully and the 2017 British science-fiction teen thriller iBoy. She has had co-starring roles in the 2017 romantic period-drama film Mary Shelley, the 2018 romantic comedy-drama film Then Came You and the 2018 animated prehistorical sports film comedy Early Man. Williams is also the voice actor behind Cammie MacCloud, a character in the American animated web series set in a dystopian future Gen:Lock (2019). She also joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the X-Men horror film The New Mutants (2019). In 2020, Williams starred in the comedy action drama series Two Weeks to Live, as well as the psychological thriller The Owners. In January 2021, it was announced that Williams had been cast to portray the punk rock icon Jordan (Pamela Rooke) in the six-episode biopic limited series Pistol for FX, about the Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, based on Jones' 2018 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol.

The purpose of the platform is to support collaboration on artistic projects from across various creative industries, to be a hosting service upon which creators can showcase their work, and be an alternative tool to assist artists and creators, especially new ones, in their careers.
