coming soon to a http site accessible by you...our website redesign! our designers are so close to finishing our new website we can smell the awesomeness dripping out of our computers. we are almost there!


from graphic designers to engineers, the design world is serving our communities in ways not often recognized

take design educator KT Meaney for example. his students spent a semester partnered with a non-profit organization, Hip Hop Haven, to construct space for inner-city youth to take classes and provide help with homework. at Purdue University, there is an Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program in which students provide technical expertise to nonprofit agencies.

construction update

our new conference room windows are letting natural light in our construction cave...and our new storage room has four solid walls! we are beginning to see the light at the end of the drywall tunnel.


chicago in ruins

lindsay hauled to chicago for a long weekend of music and movie stars! lindsay, jeremy, and a close friend spread their wings in the windy city seeing the kings of leon concert. what they didn’t expect was to run into the set of transformers 3! in the middle of the chicago streets, the trio stumbled upon the set ruins and what appears to be the backside of patrick dempsey in the photo. allegedly shia labeouf was seen just on the opposite side of the set...though we have no pictures to confirm lindsay’s reports.

ankeny community
school district

julsdesign is proud to announce the redesign of the ankeny hawk and new ankeny centennial high school’s jaguar mascot. ankeny’s need for a second high school also created the opportunity for us to create the new ankeny community school district logo. our hatchling and jaguar cub have finally left the homestead! check them out at the ankeny school district website.


beautiful weather
and bad fish

vacationing in a house boat round two was better than julie's first attempt. this time gloomy weather didn’t rain on the mangels family parade. spending most days swimming the lake or just bathing in the warm sun, the vacation was near perfect. if only the fish had been better. still the vacation was a blast and much needed week of relaxing.
