Krystian Babilinski began working with Unity and Blender when he was in middle school. Since high school, he and his brother, Adrian, taught via Google's Helpouts service. Through teaching, he exposed himself to a new assortment of problem sets, which he then experienced firsthand. Slowly, he began getting involved in large-scale projects and freelance work. With a growing portfolio and knowledge of Unity 3D along with platform optimizations, he and his brother started their own creative firm in 2014. They began developing assets for Unity's Asset Store and worked for larger clients, such as The Hasley Group and Beach Consulting. These successes wouldn't have been possible without their loyal customers.
