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.

I’ve been helping the team at Heyday out with content-related projects for the last few months and it has made publishing Workspaces SO much easier. Heyday is the research tool that automatically saves the content you view, and resurfaces it within your existing workflows.
I'd absolutely love to hear any product feedback that you have regarding it!
