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 would recommend Shew Design to anyone requiring a high level of expertise in website management and design. They listened to our needs and understood immediately how they could help. They continued to support us throughout the entire process, including helping us on a moment’s notice when we encountered a glitch or problem we weren’t able to resolve. In the process, they taught us a lot and helped us get to a place where we could continue to help ourselves.
