Who or what is Catalyst Design?

History of Catalyst Design

Catalyst Design and Media was formed in 1998 by current owners Zoë Beavis and Chris Searle. After a degree in art, design and marketing at the University of Lancaster, Zoë’s business background was working with design agencies in regional press advertising and subsequently, account management for another design agency in Bristol.

Chris studied graphic design in Bristol and worked for two local agencies, progressing quickly to the position of senior designer. Both Chris and Zoë were keen to start a brand new business which would capitalise on their complementary agency and design experience and which would have its own specific focus: creative design would be as important as the bottom line.

11 years later, we are pleased to report that this continues to be the case and the creativeness of our business output is as important as ever. Please read below a selection of testimonials by some of our satisfied clients.
