An Arizona native, Jyll started building and creating furniture 10 years ago as a weekend hobby. While she was a student at Arizona State, she majored in architecture for two years before deciding to switch it up and go for a business major. She graduated with a business degree in 2003 and worked for DeWalt tools. She describes this as a full circle, how she went from architecture to business and then working for a power tool company. “I never fell out of love with architecture, but I didn’t want to design full buildings. I wanted to design the pieces of furniture that went into the buildings,” Jyll said. After working for DeWalt for three years, Jyll worked for Chase bank as a college recruiter. She then went to work for ASU as a career coach. While she was there, she obtained her Master of Education degree. She realized she was ready to follow her passion into design. “I became a career-coach-career-changer,” Jyll said. Don J Designs was created in July of 2015. Jyll works partly in a studio in her house and partly at TechShop, which is an open- access workshop in Chandler that gives you the tools to create your own projects. Jyll says that she visits TechShop at least five times a month, depending on the project she’s working on. “I’ve learned so many new skills. Powder coating, CNC machines, welding… the sky is the limit with them,” Jyll said. For each machine, you have to take a one to two hour certification class, and then you’re free to use the machine. The TechShop also requires a monthly membership. Jyll works with her business partner, who also happens to be her dad, in building c-tables and note boards, as well as light fixtures and doors. She also does custom work for those looking for something specific. When Jyll isn’t creating a new c-table or light cube, she’s crafting with her friends. She also enjoys everything sci-fi and fantasy. One of her future goals is to build something and bring it to a Comicon event to sell at her own booth. She also spends time with her husband of 11 years, Jeff, whom she met at ASU. Jyll credits Jeff with the idea of becoming an entrepreneur. “He said, ‘looking at our situation, it’s a now or never,’ and for me, it came down to the regret of not doing this no longer outweighed the fear of doing it,” Jyll said. She recalled a photo she once saw of a cat looking into a mirror and seeing a lion looking back at him, and an idea popped into her head. This is where the name, Don J Designs, came from. Jyll’s cat, whose name is Don Julio, is the namesake for Jyll’s company, who Jyll says is a fierce feline. “I’m that cat. I need to fi nd my fierce self,” she said. And so, Don J Designs grew from a weekend hobby to a full- grown furniture business. To check out Jyll’s designs, visit donjdesign.com.

Nothing has made me believe more in my assessment of our culture than what transpired this past month when my friend and Arcadia native, Charlie Keating, gave his life rescuing other Americans. Charlie and I grew up together through Hopi, Ingleside, and Arcadia High School. Not only was he the best runner that our neighborhood has ever produced, but he was also one of the most genuine and humble people I have been around. This is a guy who had already put his life on the line during three previous tours and received a bronze star during combat operations, yet you wouldn’t have heard one peep from him about his exploits. Although he was a decorated warrior, his goofy sense of humor coupled with his laid back approach allowed him to be understated and approachable. We shared a common bond of service to our country, but the conversation would usually turn quickly to our high school shenanigans or what he loved to do in his free time such as surfing, or free diving. He was truly a professional serviceman and his signature smile will surely be missed by the entire Arcadia family. I would ask that the neighborhood continue to keep the Navy Seal community in its thoughts and prayers. The neighborhood has three other brave men that are currently serving in the Seal teams. Charlie was the first of them to reach the teams and I know that each of the others looked up to him as a role model. I pray that their resilience sees them through this adversity and that they can carry on the legacy of Charlie in their duties. Some of my fellow Arcadia alumni will be petitioning to name the Arcadia track in Charlie’s name. If you have any pull or resources at the school, please reach out to me so that I can connect you with the group. Your help would be greatly appreciated and would be the least that we could do to honor a true Arcadia hero.
