Shew Design

We worked with Whatcom Has Hope last year to develop a multi-channel effort designed to meet people where they are — from social media and Spotify to bus ads and pre-movie screens — with one clear goal: raise awareness, foster compassion, and connect people to real support. Every piece was developed to reduce stigma and make it easier for individuals and families to take the next step toward help.

Sometimes we get to work with clients whose dedication, skill, and sheer depth of knowledge inspire us, and Rain Shadow/Orcas Biomass on Orcas Island is one of those standouts. Our goal was to build a brand and websites that reflected their commitment: clear, grounded, and rooted in expertise.

We're proud of the collaboration, and even more proud to help elevate the work of a team doing so much good for their community and environment.

Three months later--while it’s in the 30s outside--we’re finally sharing some highlights from our summer road trip through the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks.

This summer we traded our keyboards for hiking boots and set off for Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks. 13 hikes, 125 miles, and 22,480 feet of climbing.

We partnered with the Harder Foundation to create a new website that reflects their mission: protecting the Northwest’s lands, waters, and wildlife. The site showcases their grantmaking priorities and the stories behind their impact—from salmon habitat restoration to grizzly bear recovery.

We partnered with the San Juan Island Visitors Bureau to create a social media campaign and toolkit that empowers local businesses to share stewardship messages. Our work included images, copywriting, animations, and resources that highlight the importance of making sustainable choices.

We recently completed a brand and website for Circle of Change. We built a database that allows our client to connect blog posts, actions, and other specific types of data. The result is a site that visually links similar types of information, making it easy for users to explore different topics and see actions they can take.

We developed a handful of short animations for Whatcom County Public Works Stormwater Division. Designed to accompany text describing how to safely dispose of Household Hazardous waste, each one focuses on circumstances when unused household products can accumulate.
