About

Hi! I am Justin Famularo an industrial/product/transportation designer in the Detroit metro area. My specialty is wheels but I have experience designing 3D surface for product, components, and full vehicles. My experience has been as a freelance designer, CAD sculptor at GM, surface designer at Rivian and Piaggio Fast Forward. The past couple years I have been sharing my knowledge as a professor at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI, teaching product and transportation design studios and modeling courses.
