Josiah LaColla
Creative Designer
Detroit, MI, USAI'm deeply interested in anything that makes or uses power, and my experience specializes in designing such things. While refining my skills at CCS, I developed into a designer who strives to reclaim the harmony between the passion of design and the solidity of proper engineering. One who recognizes the term "Form=Function" as an ideal truth, I'm never far from working with engineers to unify a system's aesthetics with its functionality.
