Quad Cities-based IMEG has rebranded its architectural lighting services and the Illuminating Concepts division into a single, unified Architectural Lighting Studio operating under the Illuminating Concepts sub-brand. The launch includes a refreshed logo and brand identity that reflect the studio’s integrated, design-driven approach. 

Originally joining IMEG in 2024, Illuminating Concepts brought award-winning architectural lighting design and fixture procurement expertise to IMEG’s growing portfolio. The rebrand formally unifies those capabilities with IMEG’s in-house architectural lighting services, creating a cohesive studio of 30 specialized lighting professionals serving clients across the world. 

“The formation of a single architectural lighting studio under the Illuminating Concepts name allows us to clearly represent the depth of talent, creativity, and technical rigor behind our lighting work,” said Paul VanDuyne, president and CEO of IMEG. “This unified team strengthens how we partner with architects, design partners, and owners to elevate the built environment through light.” 

“Lighting is at its most powerful when it’s intentional by design, seamlessly integrated, and aligned with the project’s design narrative,” said Kelly Stechschulte, client executive and studio leader for Illuminating Concepts. “Bringing our teams together as one studio strengthens collaboration, aligns design vision with technical execution, and delivers results that enhance how people experience a space.” 

The new Illuminating Concepts logo reflects the studio’s architectural foundation and disciplined design approach—balancing creative intent with clarity and structure. Its clean lines and deliberate framing symbolize the intersection of art and science that defines curated lighting design.  

Operating as a sub-brand of IMEG, Illuminating Concepts delivers coordinated architectural lighting and lighting controls design, design and fixture specification, daylighting integration, and budgeting and procurement services—supporting projects across hospitality, gaming, healthcare, education, cultural, workplace, civic, markets and more.
