Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).
