About Gašper Premože
With 20 years of experience in industrial design, I have designed about 200 products for more than 20 clients. I strive to innovate at every level of the design process from concept development, hand-sketching, advanced CAD modeling (Rhino 3D), rendering and presentation making, pitching, copywriting, branding, visual design, UX design… and many more. I collaborate with manufacturing, marketing, and selling departments to create a brief that helps me to design a product that is easy to sell.
During seven years of entrepreneurship, I have launched four products on the market, created three crowdfunding campaigns (all successfully), and raised over 150.000 USD on Kickstarter. Through ups and downs, I have learned to lead a team and execute projects. I gained soft skills in communication, teamwork, motivation, and decision-making,
which is why I can successfully work in a team. I am skilled in public speaking, pitching, and presenting ideas to potential investors, so he can help raise funds, build a business or product strategy, create presentations, art direct branding photos & video, and also pitch a business.
In years of industrial designing I got familiar with manufacturing technologies like plastic, silicone, stainless steel, glass, fabrics, wood, packaging, etc… I am skilled in product management, organizing and controlling a manufacturing process establishing logistics…
