Ben Willingdorf on Instagram: "Ever since I was a kid, my dream was to be an inventor to make the world a better place. I was obsessed with building, especially things out of snow because it was free. Every year, I’d try to create a giant snow sculpture, but the weather was my constant rival, melting away my progress time and again.
Despite years of setbacks, I never stopped. Even this Giant Olaf melted twice in the process…
It brings me so much joy to know that my perseverance has finally allowed people across the world to find happiness through my snowman. Turning a passion for projects into a viable career is still a daily struggle for me, but I will never give up on ‘Little Ben’s’ dream. I can’t wait to share more of his ideas with you all. Thank you so much for the support! Here’s to 2026! ❤️"
