It’s been a pleasure working with Shew Design. They are responsive, adaptable, highly professional, and yet friendly and understanding.

Magaly Smith
Communications Director
One America
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.
