Team Kataklizmic

Our Own
Artistic Community
in Phoenix

Kataklizmic Design's professional team is behind the Band IdentitySM service packages,
and the online publication Burning Hot Events - News & Reviews from the Fiery Mosh Pits of Arizona.

Our team supports the dreams and growth of artists, freelancers, entrepreneurs.

We embrace the gig life, risk-taking, dream-chasing, and collaborating! Our relationship-focused crew places a premium on cultivating EQ (emotional intelligence).

Our Culture

It is important to Katherine (business owner) that the members of our team feel appreciated, understood, supported, empowered, and excited! We work with our team members' pre-established strengths and goals, which are crucial to the project. Kataklizmic Design's specific business procedures and brand standards are outlined for the crew, while each team member receives respect and flexibility to work in their own style.

This is a growing community with a unique combination of down-to-earth interaction and a high caliber of professionalism - what Katherine like's to call "chill perfectionism" - committed to quality, type-A work and efficiency while having fun!

Our desire is to collaborate closely with each other, and build a solid support system. Management warmly invites ideas and creativity from the team. We're confident that more great minds, perspectives, and connections we add to our team, the faster we will make magic!
