A Family Company That Values Faith
We’re a husband-wife team that God has gifted with compatible professional talents. Shawn graduated from Iowa State University with a B.A. in art and design and a minor in advertising. He accrued savvy graphic design skills in agency settings before embarking on his venture as owner of Drafahl Design Company.
After earning a B.S. in English and a minor in journalism with an emphasis in broadcasting from Iowa State, Lori enjoyed the first leg of her career teaching middle and high school language arts. When opportunity presented itself, she transitioned to marketing, communications and video production. Eventually, she joined Drafahl Design Company, which became a family business offering a wider array of services.
Our work, like our lives, is informed by our faith. We put our hearts into our crafts and value honesty, knowing we are held accountable by a power much higher than ourselves.

Visual Storytelling to Bring Your Brand to Life
The rule of “show, don’t tell” will always apply. There isn’t a more compelling way to engage people with your brand than through visual storytelling. In today’s marketing landscape, it’s essential to integrate a variety of video content into your strategy. For example, a showcase brand video can immerse viewers in your company’s world – where they can explore your workspaces, meet your team and see the passion behind your products and processes. A testimonial video lets your current customers shine by sharing their success stories and how your company played a pivotal role in their journeys. And quick-hit video clips on social media can boost engagement by offering valuable tips, taking people behind the scenes, and sharing special moments or just a day in the life of your business.
From concept to final cut, we’re here to produce impactful video content that helps your organization stand out in a world that thrives on constant visual engagement. Let’s bring your brand to life!
