Anna Care, before Studio3A

The brief

Intent Designs is a Toronto-based residential design firm, led by principal Angela Chu, focused on creating spaces where people reconnect. Anna designed the brand and website in 2023, before Studio3A was founded.

The identity needed to feel the same way: refined without being cold, and simple enough to let the spaces speak for themselves.

Intent Designs primary logo in cream on sage green
01 · The mark

A single, open line

The monogram is one fine line drawn into a D, open and architectural. The name sits beside it in wide-spaced capitals, giving the mark room to breathe.

02 · Flexibility

Three tones, one voice

A stacked version of the mark works in deep forest, sage and warm copper, so it sits naturally on signage, documents and site photography.

03 · Colour and type

Natural and timeless

Greens and copper taken from plants, wood and warm metals, balanced with soft neutrals. Big Caslon brings a classic, editorial feel, paired with the light, modern lines of Josefin Sans.

05 · The website

A calm place to land

We designed the website to feel like walking into one of their spaces: warm photography, generous white space and a simple path from first impression to booking a free call.

Design. Build. Restore.
