Shew Design is a branding and web studio led by Becca and Eric Shew in Bellingham, Washington.
For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with organizations to build thoughtful brands and designs that bring clarity, consistency, and longevity. Working with us, you’ll gain a clear, flexible brand identity and confidence in how you communicate.
Becca Shew
With a background in art history and over twenty years of design experience, Becca approaches projects from a printer’s perspective—creating clean, minimalist designs that work across screen and print. She orchestrates business operations at Shew Design, coordinating social media campaigns, managing timelines, and handling client communications with attention to both stated needs and unspoken expectations.
She brings a strong sense of color and texture to every project, working closely with Eric on design tasks. Clients value her ability to listen closely and translate needs into work that feels both practical and inspired.
Eric Shew
Eric approaches design as a fusion of visual and verbal thinking. With formal training in creative writing and over 20 years of design experience, he works to make every project as unique as the client behind it—always searching for elegant solutions that make complex ideas feel simple and accessible.
At Shew Design, Eric handles copywriting, illustration, and web development. His strength lies in listening to what clients are trying to accomplish, then crafting messages—visual and verbal—that connect with their audiences.

what people say
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.
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.

Working with Shew Design, I’ve learned two things: they truly produce “strategic visual communications,” and they do their research and are excellent collaborators.

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!
