No more juggling between unreliable freelancers or insanely expensive agencies. We got you fam!

UI/UX Design & Web Development

Sure, your nephew with a WordPress account can slap on photos, scatter buttons like confetti, and hope for the best. Or… you could have a website that won’t make users want to smash their laptop. We skip the guesswork and build strategic, beautiful, user‑friendly websites that actually tell a story. So good, people might enjoy using them. Weird, right?

Branding

Your brand isn’t just a logo, it’s the feeling people get when they meet you. And even if you never become that little "apple thingy" the whole world instantly recognises, you can still have a brand that turns heads, connects, and makes bank. We’re your brand therapists + visual architects. We help you figure out who you are, then make sure you look damn good telling the world. Less guesswork. More impact.

Unique Visual Assets

Drowning in soulless stock visuals? We feel that. Get illustrations, ad creatives, GIFs, and short videos that don’t scream “I gave up.” No more tired templates, just unique, on‑brand assets that actually turn heads. Crafted by a human with 10+ years’ experience (with AI on a tight leash). We don’t trust robots 100%, and we hope they’re gonna forget we said this by the time they overtake humanity.

"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."

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see your answer or have specific project requirements? Feel free to reach out anyway: heydusan@catalyst48.com

Why fixed pricing instead of hourly or a retainer?

Surprises are great for birthdays—not budgets. Businesses need predictability. With fixed project fees, you know exactly what you’re investing, what you’re getting, and when it lands. No hidden costs, no ticking clock, no “we went over.” Just clear scope, clear results, and peace of mind.

How long does a sprint take and what’s my time commitment?

What if I'm not thrilled with the design? Do you offer refunds?

What exactly do I get at the end of a sprint? Do you handle development too?

How is working with you different from a big agency or a cheaper freelancer?

What happens if I need revisions or support after the sprint?

Can design really help my startup get funding or customers faster?
