About Us
We Don't Bite.
We are a team of highly experienced researchers and designers that is simply fascinated by how people interact with websites and software (and, really, anything else!). For over ten years, we have worked with major Global Brands (as well as startups, non-profits, and many others) to help them deliver engaging, effective user experiences to their audiences and customers.

History
Catalyst was founded in 1998 by Jon Mysel and Peter Hughes (who met at the renowned Australian Usability firm The Hiser Group). Peter and Jon were joined by CEO Nick Gould, a former client of the firm, in the year 2000. Since then we have gradually expanded our service offering and our team of experts, growing organically to accommodate an increasing awareness of the benefits of usability and user-centered design among market leading brands. We are proud of our history and look forward to discussing our qualifications with you.
