Marlene Finley
Board Member
Evergreen Islands
The process of designing the website was very well communicated and smoothly delivered. Their tutorials were excellent and the written instructions provided are clear and extremely helpful as we update content. Since our organization launched the new website I have heard people call it “exciting”, “informative” and “fresh look”. Within two weeks, people outside our organization were referencing the website on social media.
Angela Broderick
Climate & Sustainability Coordinator

I appreciate the thoughtful way they approach each project and the seamless way they guide us through the process. They always manage to harness our initial ideas and translate them into fantastic results! Eric and Becca are great communicators; we trust their design talents to elevate our work.
Susan Marks
Executive Director
Bellingham/Whatcom County Commission Against Domestic Violence
Working with Shew Design to develop a new website and branding for Bellingham/Whatcom County Commission Against Domestic Violence, along with social media tools such as blogs and Facebook, has been a wonderful experience. They were very thoughtful about the needs of our organization and about the issue of domestic violence in our community, conducting their own research and obtaining a high level of input from our staff. They then provided us with tools and guidelines for using those tools in a way that will allow us to continually promote our mission in the community.
Paul Hemminger

Bellingham Frameworks
I have worked with Shew Design a couple of times, most recently for a new logo and rebranding for Bellingham Frameworks. I came to them with the most vague idea of what I wanted and had a hard time articulating it. Within minutes they had on screen what was in my head. They do get it. The whole process was also super efficient and clear.
Anitra Accetturo

Working with Shew Design, I’ve learned two things: 1. They truly produce ‘strategic visual communications’ and 2. They do their research and are excellent collaborators.

All I had when I partnered with Shew Design was an idea and the hope that they could translate my mission into a brand and a multi-faceted website. The Shews applied their talents and created a way to reach subscribers while providing easy navigation of interconnected topics. Shew Design created more than I could have imagined, and my subscribers are loving it.
Charles Luckmann

Flying Trout Press
Flying Trout Press came to Shew Design hoping to upgrade its pre-Cambrian website. A few dinosaurs were roaming through it. To be honest, we had a few fears, but Eric and Becca dispatched them with confidence. And along the way, we learned the difference between an “illustration” and a “logo.” In the end, our new website is beautiful—perfect for us! Thank you, Shew Design!

Hart Hodges

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.
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!
Dana Brandt

Shew Design cares deeply about quality and customer satisfaction. They listened to our input and worked hard to make our new brand representative of who we are and something we’re excited about.
James Lovell

I worked with Shew Design on a fast-moving project with a lot of externally-mandated parameters, and Shew Design was wonderful! Our $24 million/year multi-service nonprofit has a lot of considerations and voices to factor into all web design projects, and Becca and Eric listened and responded well. They kept our users at the center of the conversation and provided excellent customer service as they implemented a production plan that followed an aggressive timeline. The website they designed & produced is better for our clients, staff, and communities than we had envisioned, and can easily be edited and expanded to continue to meet the needs of an ever-changing social services landscape.
Katie Johnson

Shew Design was absolutely a dream to work with! My partner and I own restaurants in Bellingham and are in the process of opening a new spot. We came to Shew Design with a sense of what we wanted, and through all of our babbling, they listened closely and were able to really nail down the essence of what we were going for! Their communication, organization, efficiency, and talent made the whole experience a pleasure, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the product!
Magaly Smith

Most recently, we approached the Shew Design team to support the creation of animated videos in several languages to inform the community about a new, complex program that could benefit them. From the beginning, their team led the way, asked pivotal questions, making sure we were all aligned in our goals, and ensuring the videos would be easy to understand and be translated into multiple languages. The videos turned out great. They were incredibly helpful to the communities we serve, and we learned a great deal in the process.

Their collaborative approach process was smooth and enjoyable. Eric and Becca took the time to truly understand our vision, then elevated it beyond our expectations. The final product is visually compelling and functionally seamless. What sets Shew Design apart is their attention to detail and genuine investment in their clients’ success.

We have completed several projects with Shew Design over the years involving marketing messages and delivery of tools and products on topics like stormwater education, eel grass protection, and public transportation. In all cases, the combination of Shew’s thoughtful approaches to reaching people, crafting the message, and providing the supporting graphics has contributed to the overall success of those efforts. I particularly appreciate the way input we gather from engagement with communities is adapted concisely and artfully to maximize the impact of our outreach and engagement efforts and products.
David Stalheim

Mud Bay Consulting
When working with Shew Design, I’m reminded of the Calvin and Hobbs “bats are bugs” report. A crisp presentation was meant to overcome the report shortcomings. Shew Design consistently produces crisp graphics, concise text and stunning reports. I’m not sure they would put their name on a “bats are bugs” report, but if they did, someone might just believe it because their work is outstanding.
Geoffrey Morgan
Blaine – Birch Bay Thrives
We’re thrilled with the new brand, messaging, and website Shew Design created for Birch Bay – Blaine Thrives. They understood our needs and turned our organization’s mission into a visually appealing, easy-to-use website that connects well with our community. Working with them was a pleasure, and we highly recommend them.
Cathy Lehman
Senior Program Officer
Harder Foundation
Not only did they walk me through the creative process with ease from start to finish, but when I ran into hiccups internally with my company leadership, who loved the concept of a new website but were unprepared to commit to design and language choices, they demonstrated peak professionalism and value. They walked that perfect line of checking in without pressuring, offering solutions proactively, being real yet not getting frustrated with me. And icing on the cake? Company leadership loves our new website.

Shew Design recently completed design concepts to help with messaging to preserve eelgrass within our local State Park. Their team was fabulous to work with. They created materials that aligned with State Park guidelines and provided an attractive appearance with clear educational messaging. The materials were also scalable to how it would be presented (social media, poster, rack card, etc). Communication was always clear and constructive, and the Shews were very adaptable to ensure all parties were happy with the outcome. They even provided a suggested social media rollout. We would love to work with them again and highly recommend their services.
