About LocaModa
LocaModa (you can call us Loca for short) is a young company in Somerville, MA. We invented Wiffiti almost two years ago, and have been building Wiffiti screens as special projects for our customers. Along the way, we decided it was too cool to keep to ourselves any longer and decided that anyone who wants a Wiffiti screen should just be able to have one.
