No more juggling between unreliable freelancers and insanely expensive agencies.
UI/UX, Web Design & Development
Sure, your nephew with the WordPress account can probably handle it between gaming sessions. Slap on some photos, scatter buttons like confetti, and pray it works. Or... you could have a website that doesn't make users want to throw their device across the room. We ditch the guesswork and dive into strategy, user experience, and aesthetics that actually convert. The result? Websites so intuitive and effective, your users might actually enjoy using them.
Weird, right?
Branding
Your brand is more than just a logo - it's an experience. You know how the whole world instantly recognise that little apple thingy? Well, a good chance is that you'll never get there… But millions of other people didn't and their business is still printing money! Building a brand that connects with their audience and stands out is achievable even without becoming a next global behemoth. Think of us as your brand therapists and visual architects rolled into one… We help you figure out who you are and then make sure you look damn good telling the world.
Less guesswork, more strategic impact.
Unique Visual Assets
Drowning in endless, soulless stock photo and illustration libraries?
Need visual assets that don't scream 'I gave up!'? Illustrations, ad creatives, GIFs, or a short videos that don't look like a clip art from 1998? We get it! Stop paying for the same tired visuals used by every other business. We create unique, eye-catching assets tailored to your brand. Crafted by a human with 10+ years of expertise (and a little AI assistance we closely supervise). We still don't trust robots 100%…
Hopefully, they'll forget we said this by the time they overtake humanity.

About Us
About Us
Founded by Dusan Kovacevic, a full-stack senior (product) designer and creative director. For over a decade, he’s been in the trenches, working on over 300 projects, helping over 100 businesses across six continents (Antarctica, you’re next! 🤙) punch above their weight by crafting user-centered design solutions that drive serious growth and loyalty.
Catalyst48 was born out of that battle-tested experience, and a spark of rebellion. The very name Catalyst48, and the symbol of Prometheus carrying the torch in our logo, reflects our core mission. Like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods to gift it to humanity (you’re welcome), we bring clarity, creativity, and momentum to startups and already established businesses.
We wield fire in the form of world-class visual design, web development, strategy, and just enough AI to make Zeus nervous.
We believe every business (who pays us, obviously hehe) deserves a digital presence as unique and impactful as their mission and vision. Fuelled by known tools, robust work methodology, copious amounts of caffeine, and the essential financial contributions of brilliant clients like you, we're here to cut the guesswork, ditch the pixel shame, and turn your design dreams into high-impact reality - delivered fast, and flaming hot. 🔥

One-size-fits-all design is like a cheap suit – it never looks quite right. We don't do generic. Our approach is deeply collaborative to understand your unique brand DNA, target audience (whether they're sneaker-wearing disruptors or suit-wearing execs), and specific goals. The result? Custom visuals and experiences that feel authentically yours and speak directly to the people who matter.

Phase 2: Concept Crucible
(or: Prepare for Awesome)
Forget endless rounds of slightly-different variations that leave you feeling more confused than when you started. Based on our Phase 1 roadmap, we dive deep, exploring multiple strategically distinct visual paths. We then curate the strongest contenders and present you with focused concept boards, not just pretty pictures, but fully-fledged design samples with clear strategic framing. You'll see why each option works for your goals, giving you everything needed to make a confident, informed decision... fast. Consider this the moment you pick your design superhero.

Phase 3: Activation & Launch
(or: Let's Make it Rain... Credibility)
Ready to fly! Like, yesterday. This is where your investment pays off. You don't just get files; you get a polished, ready-to-go website design and the essential key assets needed to immediately put your refreshed brand to work. Think website that actually grabs attention, graphics that look like they belong, and everything else required to stop looking like a beta project and start looking like the established player you're becoming. We include a recorded walkthrough (so you know exactly what's what without needing a decoder ring) and continued access to our Trello channel.

"I loved and learned every minute of working with Dusan in the creation of my website. He is equally adept at communicating the many considered details in the choice of design elements as the design work itself. Nothing is left to chance. It was a privilege to work with him. He persuasively challenged my requests when they didn’t serve the end goal or the best interests of the user. I happily recommend Dusan for projects of note requiring highly considered design."
