We could also call Klemen the loving father (and mother) of Coupling. He has a degree in media communication, and started his career in photography, marketing and journalism. However, he was also a good singer. When he won the national singing competition, he knew he had to do something about it. Soon, he enrolled in the art university of Graz and obtained an MA in opera singing. He sang in many European opera houses as an operatic soloist, getting great roles with his charming bass baritone voice. But, Klemen is a person that’s always bursting with ideas. So, he kept working working in marketing, project management and photography.
Books, games and fantasy have been his main interest ever since he was a little boy. He learnt by heart every new board game he could get his hands on! Very soon, he started inventing his own board games and then teaching his friends to play them. While he was studying for his master’s degree in opera singing, he was also in two start-up companies. With many different projects underway, he still found the time to play board games! Not just that: He noticed a problem with many of the party games he played. These games just weren’t as fulfilling as they could’ve been. And so, the idea for Coupling (the Game), was born.
Recently, he worked as the lead product marketing manager for the biggest Slovenian petrol company, but he left the job to follow his dream to live a purely creative life. Now, he works as a singing teacher and dedicates the rest of his time to Coupling (while working on many other projects along the way, too!).
