We aim for perfection, we settle for excellence.
Since 2003 Tanka has gained a reputation for being able to punch well above our size. Tanka is helmed by Creative Director Kevin Cavallaro and Software Developer & Animator Jeff Falcon. Working closely together and bringing in other talent as needed Tanka can deliver your project from conceptualization through delivery and beyond. It’s this balanced relationship between design and development, plus our obsessive attention to detail that enables us to complete any project with precision and care. And we truly love doing the work, which is always a bonus.
Origin story
We’re often asked about the origin of our company’s name. Tanka is a form of Japanese poetry dating back to the 8th century. The name is actually quite apropos, since traditional Tanka poetry often combined deep meaning, completeness of an idea, coupled with an aesthetic component, such as the paper it was written on or the manner in which it was presented. Each poet would take great care in assembling and presenting their work to their intended audience. This is our philoshophy in everything we do.

It’s about relationships
We take pride in maintaining long term relationships with many of our clients. Our focus has always been on our clients’ needs and filling the gaps where they exist. Ultimately, it’s our job to help clients deliver their project on time, on budget, and with the fewest headaches possible. Over the years we’ve learned how to anticipate what a client needs even before they realize it. This lets us stay ahead of the eventual hiccups most projects present.
