Becca Shew
Becca’s formal education is in art history, and she enters projects from a printer’s perspective, creating clean, minimalist designs. At Shew Design, Becca coordinates and implements social media campaigns. She researches, plans, and schedules creative and production work, and handles the administrative side of the business.
Becca guides the creative work using color and texture, and she collaborates with Eric on design tasks. She listens to clients and makes sure the work fits both the letter and spirit of the need.
Eric Shew
Eric enters projects from a writer’s perspective, approaching design as a fusion of visual and verbal thinking. He is a restless thinker, and he wants every project to be as unique as the client and based on their needs and audience.
His formal education is in creative writing, but his work shows other influences as well. His parents are puzzle makers. His dad is a biologist.
At Shew Design, Eric handles most copywriting, illustration, and programming tasks and collaborates with Becca on design tasks.

We loved working with Shew Design on our nonprofit organization’s WordPress website redesign project in 2020! Eric and Becca were very responsive to our complex needs and flexible with all the challenges that came our way. They continue to provide technical web support for the website. Highly recommend this local Washingtonian team!

Shew Design has been fantastic to work with on several projects. Their designs are creative and engaging, and the whole process is smooth and collaborative. They’re a fun team and a pleasure to work with. We’d definitely work with them again!
John Jenkins
President
Spark Museum of Radio and Electricity
We were looking for a logo that reflected our new brand: bold and modern while still anachronistic. Not everyone “gets” it, but Shew Design understood and produced a stunning design. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result, so we asked Shew Design to design a full corporate identity package for us: name tags, business cards, envelope design, letterhead, and a newsletter template. Again, an incredible job. I think the result speaks for itself!
Sarah Sumadi
Senior Program Manager

We were really happy with Shew Design. They listened to us, incorporated our feedback and ideas, and delivered a website that we love. I recommend them to anyone looking for help with building a website.
Hart Hodges
Principal
Waycross Investment Management Company
Shew Design helped us get comfortable with wording that would resonate with more people and work on our website, while also respecting the fact that regulations often dictate what we can or cannot say. But they did it, and we’re very happy with our new look.
