Visionaries for the visionary
Transforming underrepresented businesses through authentic creative partnerships and culturally-informed strategy. We don't just create brands, we katalyze transformation that builds legacies.
WHO IS KATALYST?
-
We don't just execute projects—we katalyze movements as your vested strategic partner. Katalyst Culture Creative integrates four proprietary, MBA-level methodologies—Design Thinking, Value Proposition Design, Project Management, and Creative Team Development—to create unassailable competitive advantages that traditional transactional agencies cannot match. Our "Empathy to Impact" process begins with deep listening to uncover root challenges, then applies strategic frameworks and cultural authenticity to deliver solutions that are measurably impactful and scalable alongside your growth. We move beyond freelance mindsets and cookie-cutter templates to provide authentic partnership that honors who you are while unlocking who you can become, transforming your vision into market reality.
-
At the heart of Katalyst Culture Creative are six core values that aren't aspirational statements on a wall, they're the non-negotiable principles that drive how we work, who we serve, and the impact we create. We are:
Brave and Courageous: Making bold creative choices that challenge conventions
Authentic and Genuine: Honoring the true essence of diverse communities without appropriation
Tenacious and Relentless: Uncompromising pursuit of client success.
Illuminating and Impactful: Creating lasting legacies that showcase excellence
Pioneering and Innovative: Positioning clients as industry leaders through cutting-edge methodologies and timeless storytelling
Supportive and Organic: Building long-term partnerships where we celebrate your wins, navigate challenges together, and grow alongside your business with genuine investment in your sustained success.

Our journey began in 2013 as Fresh Wind Graphics, born from the belief that exceptional design could transform how small businesses, performing artists, and non-profits connected with their communities. For over a decade, we specialized in print, digital media, and experiential design—but working deeply within underrepresented communities revealed a profound truth: our clients didn't just need beautiful designs, they needed comprehensive strategic partnerships that could unlock their full potential. They were brilliant entrepreneurs trapped in a cruel paradox—needing professional marketing to grow, but unable to afford it until they'd already grown.
This insight sparked our bold transformation: in fall 2025, Fresh Wind Graphics officially evolved into Katalyst Culture Creative, combining MBA-level business frameworks with creative excellence and authentic cultural competency to be the spark that ignites transformation and turns vision into market reality.
OUR WORK
Our portfolio showcases the transformative impact of authentic creative partnerships across diverse sectors, such as Arts & Entertainment, Brand Identity, Retail, Non-Profit, and Film, TV, & Video.

What our clients say
"Katalyst Culture Creative brought our vision for the Prophetic Women of War Conference to life through exceptional event marketing and experiential design. They understood the spiritual significance of our gathering and created marketing materials that honored our faith while attracting attendees from across the region. Their attention to cultural authenticity and community values made them the perfect partner for our ministry event. The conference was a tremendous success, and we're already planning next year's event with Katalyst."
