Catalyst Direct
Foundational brand and go-to-market for a B2B startup: identity system, product design, customer journeys, and the pitch materials behind them.

Challenge
Catalyst Direct was starting from nothing. No identity, no voice, no go-to-market. B2B brand has a different job than consumer brand: it isn't winning a shelf, it's making a room of skeptical buyers believe a young company can be relied on. And it has to hold together across a pitch deck, a product demo, and a sales conversation without becoming three different companies.

Solution
Built the visual identity system and, with a copywriter, defined the voice and tone to go with it. Mapped customer journeys to understand how buyers actually move, then designed the product and wireframes against what that showed. Built the pitch decks that carried the story into the room, and helped shape the go-to-market strategy the whole thing existed to serve.
