About Fredrik Perman

Thank you for taking the time to review my LinkedIn profile. My name is Fredrik Perman and I’m an innovator, designer, entrepreneur, and business leader, with 21 years of experience in the fields of product design, engineering, development and branding. My real specialty is to bring concepts from idea to reality. This is where I really thrive. From the early stages of design and development, through prototyping, manufacturing, social media marketing, distribution and finally to market, via e-commerce and brick & mortar retail. I founded The Product Farm 11 years ago, which now is known as one of the elite product design and development firms in Raleigh, NC. I\'ve developed products for brands such as Yankee Candle, Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Novartis, and Staples. I have also launched several product lines of my own that have had viral retail success and been recognized internationally. I love to conceptualize, brainstorm and to create new things. Not just product and devices, but also digital content, branding, graphics, and art. This is my passion and what I have dedicated my personal career towards. I enjoy building and maintaining technologies that expand my personal fabrication and design capabilities, such as 3D-printers, laser cutters, rotary cutters and CNC machines. When I don\'t upgrade my workshop, I build computers, greenhouses, raised beds, ponds and hydroponic gardens. I\'m a non-stop maker of a never-ending variety of different things.
