Celebrating Iowa’s Creative Spirit at the 68th ADAI Design Exhibition

The ADAI 68th Annual Design Exhibition marked our first year as both an entrant and a Creative Champion Sponsor.

Once again, the event proved that great design in Iowa isn’t just alive and well. It’s evolving in fresh, purposeful, and deeply meaningful ways.

It’s humbling to stand alongside so many talented designers, agencies, students, companies, and organizations who continue to raise the bar for thoughtful, impactful design across the Midwest.

We’re grateful to our clients who trust us with their brands year after year. Your belief in the power of design and in the long-term advantage it creates makes everything we do possible.

To the entire FUEL design team, our partners, and our families: thank you for your talent, dedication, and steady support. It’s that chemistry of collective experience that lets us show up fully for our clients and deliver brands built to last.

Below are a few of the projects recognized this year. We’re proud of the work, but even prouder of the relationships and true collaboration behind it.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to work that matters. Work that helps companies and organizations across the Midwest connect their deepest values with their highest ambitions, telling their stories with clarity, purpose, and lasting impact.

Congratulations to everyone who entered, exhibited, and elevated the standard this year!
