OUR STORY
A family run business with over a decade of experience.
Bowen Design and Print was built on word-of-mouth referrals and the strength of a husband and wife team working together to fulfill a local need at a higher quality.

Our story started in the small town of Aurelia, Iowa. After meeting at an outing both our families were attending, we connected on similar passions for design, creativity, and out-of-the box thinking. We would later attend Morningside College, get married, and launch Bowen Design and Print from our home in Waukee, Iowa while raising our two daughters.
Glen started his design career at a sports apparel t-shirt company in Waukee, Iowa and Janae started a photography career in West Des Moines, Iowa.
Glen quit his job to start Bowen Design and Print with an initial $30,000 investment in printing equipment all from a spare bedroom. Within a year, the business would expand to the garage.
Due to the demand for higher volume screen printing an automatic screen printing press was added to the shop. We would later go on to be recognized by the Waukee Chamber of Commerce as Small Business of the Year for 2014.
We needed more space and ended up building a new home with an attached shop in Norwalk, Iowa. The ever-growing business meant more big changes ahead: larger printing equipment for vehicle wraps and vinyl installation, an embroidery machine, and hiring our first employee.
We are extremely thankful for the continued unprecedented growth of our business. Despite the challenges 2020 brought our world and community, our business came out on top. Tapping into the high value Bowen Design & Print places on the businesses and organizations we care about, Norwalk and Central Iowans were able to continue to depend on us to cover their needs during such a unique time.
Our partnership with the many businesses in Norwalk and beyond continues to expand, and we can't wait to see what opportunities await Bowen Design & Print in the years to come.
From the first idea sent to the last detail, we'll take care of every aspect of your project.
Bowen Design and Print is a
family owned shop focused on the highest quality since 2011.
