A little about Me

Hello, my name is Evan Calkins and I run a small design studio called Intrinsic. I have a passion of web design and interfacing, as well as my local community. I like to approach business at a local, personal level, and I like to drink coffee. If you have happened to stumble upon this weblog apart from the intrinsic business site, feel free to check it out.

Intrinsic’s New Branding

Filed under: Business, General, Notices — admin @ 11:49 pm

I’m happy to say that Intrinsic Studio has had an incredible first year of business, and are eagerly awaiting what may develop in 2008 as a company. I’ve been able to meet so many incredible people these last several months and serve some incredible clients as well!

Many changes are in store for Intrinsic Studio in 2008 including a repertoire of marketing and information materials to better assist our clients. In addition, Intrinsic Studio has been, as of today, officially re-branded with a new logo and image that better suits our upcoming creative angle. And here it is:

In addition to the new logo, a new web-site is in the works for mid 2008. Please let me know what you think of the new look! I wish you an amazing 2008!

The Launch of Intrinsic Studio

Filed under: General, Notices — admin @ 11:13 am

Well, today is the official launching of the Intrinsic Studio Web-page! Between changing diapers, watching 24 and working on finishing up some other clients work I’ve finally wrapped it up. There were a few goals I wanted to achieve by launching the web-page:

  1. Communicate my passion for my local community and personal connection. I want people to be able to know they can call, or meet with me at any time and for any reason. I realize that many business connections can survive on phone calls and emails, but I love face to face interaction. I believe it sets a stage for trust and reliability.
  2. A simplified portfolio. At first, I planned to create a robust portfolio outlining the process and details that went into each project. I soon realized that when I view other designers portfolios I want to see work fast. I really don’t care about the details. I want to see the final product, and I want to be able to visit the site, and quickly return back to view more of their work. With this in mind, I created a blog style portfolio giving simple screenshots of each project, all on the same page.
  3. Quick, web-based estimates. I’ve created a quick and simple page where inquiries can be made, and a promise to return them within an hour of there submission. I want people to realize I’m never to busy for them and take their inquiries seriously.
