"Katherine has done work for me on several occasions. She has built a web page for me -
www.MilktoastIntolerant.com
- and has also done photography work. Her prices are reasonable and are a great value for the quality of work. My webpage looks very professional. Her photography, even in low light situations, is top notch."

Photography & Videography
Samantha Marie (Producer / Cinematographer / Editor, Freelance Film Production)
"When I first met Kat, I sensed a very genuine and caring nature about her. Upon reviewing her photography work, I was really impressed by her ability to maintain such vivid detail in her shots in low-light environments. I've worked with her both in front of and behind the camera for various projects, and have always appreciated such a like-minded professional. Kat holds herself to high standards and always gives 100% to everything she does."

Wedding Photography
Ryan Hutman, Vocalist of HARDWIRE (band)
"By far the best photographer in Phoenix for live events. She excels in knowing how to take pictures in dark places. Her skill is unparalleled. My wedding reception was lit very dark and I knew no one else could get the photos like she could. I am very thankful she was there to take the amazing photos she did. On top of it all, the turn-around time to get the pictures back to me was extremely fast. "

Wonderful Experience

"I had a great time working with Kat, she made me feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun. It was obvious she was a professional and knew what she was doing. She worked with me during the editing process to make sure I liked the photos, and got my input on them. Overall, wonderful experience, highly recommend."

Our Mariachi, Now Transformed!
Rate 5/5
"The famous artist Cindy Bowles had given us complex hand drawn characters to use for our much needed new logo. We were really REALLY impressed with the quality and professionalism of Katherine's vector work to transform and completely redraw and expand on Cindy's great work. All the musicians in our mariachi band love the new design and we now get compliments all the time on the new business cards she made for us too! Katherine's work has helped us in a new turning point to launch ourselves as a more professional and presentable business. She even tweaked our old site to make it really wonderful."

In a word, Brilliant!
Rate 5/5
"I'm a *very* picky customer. Very. I want to know what my provider is doing, when they are doing it, how it's being done and I want to know it at all times. Kataklizmic Design provided all that, in spades! Her communication was perfect: detailed, timely and the right mix of professionalism, friendliness and graciousness.
As for her work? I can't praise it enough. Hands down the best audio and video we've ever had. The quality was fantastic and the footage had the "feel" of actually being at our show! Truly, truly brilliant work! I can't recommend her services enough!"

Wonderful Sense of LayoutRate 5/5
"Kat has a great eye for seeing a wonderful layout before shooting it--either that or she's a magical picture-taking fairy. Her work and personality is phenomenal! I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat."

Professional with a great Eye!Rate 5/5
"I've been a fan of Katherine Vega's work documenting various events in the Phoenix area and was very excited to learn she was shooting the CHANT / KMFDM show this past spring. To my delight, but not surprisingly, Kat was professional, approachable, and responsive toward all communication and planning pre-event, during, and after. CHANT is a chaotic, intense, energetic, drum show with sporadic strobe lighting and lots of moving parts: The fact that Kat covered it so well and produced crystal clear imagery is testament to her talent and eye! Love the shots and was honored to be shot by Kataklizmic Design! "
