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.

Kristi Birkeland

Development and Communications Director

United Way of Whatcom County

They have a unique point of view and are excellent at building a visceral experience that conveys your organizational purpose and promise. Paying close attention to your business model, values, and goals, they create a complete look and feel that gets the message across and is unmistakably yours.

Katie Fleming

Shew Design not only develops outstanding products for us at Friends of the San Juans, but are excellent collaborators and our staff feels like an integral part of the design team. They are great at organizing project timelines and help us meet our deadline goals.

Matt Lesinski

The process in creating our updated logo consistently had the goal of being as collaborative and as efficient as possible – which I greatly appreciated. They have been tremendous assets for additional questions and assistance. In short, they’re rock stars!

Anna Ehnmark

Executive Director

Shew Design helped us develop an updated look for our popular Tech Stomp fundraiser for scholarships. The beautifully-designed marketing pieces and event signage helped drive event attendance and contributed to making this our most successful scholarship fundraiser since the event’s inception 11 years ago.

Phillip George

Our company, Safe Harbor Legal, worked with Shew Design to rebrand our look including logo and marketing material.  We are very happy with the final product and found working with Becca & Eric to be easy and fun!  Definitely recommend using this company if you need marketing and design support.

David Stalheim

Consultant

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.

Iris Anthony

Family Engagement Services Coordinator

Early Learning and Family Services,
Opportunity Council

Shew Design guided us to develop a clear, concise and cohesive marketing portfolio with eye catching designs. They helped us hone and craft a message designed to engage our  target audience. They took the time to understand our audience and worked to create images and a feel that would welcome families and cut through the noise. We were quite pleased with the end product.

Susan Burton

National Grassroots Advocacy Director

National Association of Community Health Centers

Shew Design consistently produces great communications tools for our national advocacy efforts. They encouraged us to invite a diverse group of stakeholders to be part of an advisory group for each project. After listening to multiple voices, they made recommendations, including creative strategies we had not considered. Communicators across the country love the assets they have created. We will definitely continue to work with Shew Design!

Christi Banks

Owner

Doulas of Bellingam

Shew Design’s method of diving into every aspect of our business enabled them to understand what our clients are looking for, and was vital in the development process. The final results were spot on. 

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!

Jenny Rae

Communications Manager

Chuckanut Builders

The insight, creativity, and depth of knowledge about branding and marketing that Shew Design provided to Chuckanut Builders was amazing and beyond our initial expectations. The entire process was highly-collaborative and educational. We left armed with a better understanding of our own business and processes as well as tools to improve customer communications.

Louis Prussack

Head of School

Spring Street International School

We have completed our long-overdue complete redesign of our website with the Shews and are very pleased with the outcome. They have worked hard to both lead with their thoughts and expertise while also getting to understand our mission and our ideas and needs. I deeply appreciate their sense of design, efficiency, professionalism, ability to meet deadlines, and under the hood coding expertise.

Michele Bodtke

Senior Ecologist

Northwest Ecological Services

Shew Design showed an amazing ability to adapt as they strived to obtain a working knowledge of our business goals and needs and those of our clients. Throughout the entire process of retooling our market image, the Shew Design crew was able to deliver tasks on schedule while maintaining amazing attention to detail at all levels of the project.

Paul Hemminger

Owner

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.

Robin Engle

Communications and Development Director

One America

I was happy with both the process and the final result for our collaborations with Shew Design. Our website was a hit and we look forward to working with them in the months and years to come.

Jacqueline Brawley

Bellingham Public Schools

We love our new Good Food Project branding in Bellingham Public Schools. Eric and Becca listened carefully to our vision and designed a beautiful, vibrant logo and assets that allow us to move our food services program forward. It is a fresh look that perfectly pairs with our new menu. They are wonderful designers and extremely responsive to our numerous and unique requests, which included a new look for our school menu, an introductory video, buttons, stickers, aprons and even vehicle graphics. In addition to being very talented, they are lovely, funny and fun people to work with.

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.

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.

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.
