Skills

Dusan is a full-stack product designer and creative director who thrives on making a difference.

As the founder of Catalyst48 Studio, he focuses on delivering impactful designs and experiences that transform the way businesses connect with their audience.

For over a decade, he’s helped over 300 businesses across six continents (Antarctica, you’re next! ?) by crafting user-centered solutions that drive growth and loyalty. His work doesn’t just look good, it works to tap into the emotional aspects of human nature, streamline experiences, and deliver results.

Whether it’s through intuitive UX/UI design, illustrations, animations, or no-code development, Dusan doesn’t just build products; he builds solutions that empower founders and brands to shine.

When he’s not busy crafting game-changing designs, he’s either traveling, trying new foods, or keeping up with NBA basketball, and English Premier League, or "enjoying" an occasional game of Warzone or FIFA.

P.S. New to freelancing or feeling stuck in your career? No worries, we've all been there. Slide into his DMs, he might have a piece of advice for you. Free of charge, of course. :)
