Secure Iowa 2025 was an incredible opportunity to refine my event design and planning expertise. This project required months of preparation, and I applied key lessons learned from ServiceFest 2025—particularly the value of using 3D mockups to visualize the setup, look and feel, and overall design before execution.

The event took place at Prairie Meadows in Des Moines, IA, a large venue that demanded strategic planning and attention to detail. Seeing the designs come to life—30-foot banners, pop-up displays, signage, foam boards, lanyards, apparel, and giveaways—was extremely rewarding. I was fortunate to collaborate with an amazing team that helped bring this vision to reality.
