Ben Fryc is a 3D Artist and Designer at Polywork. Not always a 3D artist, Ben was formerly a Product Designer and Manager at Mango Languages.

Working in a basement doesn't mean you can't make a little corner your own. Over the course of the past couple years, Ben has filled out a space where he can create stylized artwork for startups around the world. Ben also runs a small YouTube channel dedicated to helping people learn how to use industry standard 3D software. You can check out some of his work on Dribbble, Artstation, and Figma.
