Nen Creative is an interdisciplinary studio started by two brothers to help early-stage companies accelerate their vision through brand, design, and marketing. We take a complementary approach to come up with solutions to our client’s biggest challenges. Balancing creativity with practicality, style with substance, and speed with quality.

Nen Creative was founded in April 2022 by Jason Zhu, and Michael Zhu.

Jason leads creative at Nen. He’s a designer with deep expertise in visual identity, UI/UX, video, and web design. He co-founded Parthean, a consumer fintech platform that raised $1.4M in funding. His past design work includes stints at Google, BCG, Pear VC, and Playbook Technologies. Jason holds a Bachelor of Design from Carnegie Mellon University. Outside of work, he enjoys brewing, gardening, and mentoring students.

Michael leads business growth, and operations at Nen Creative. He was Head of Marketing at TULU, a leader in proptech, where he helped drive triple digit growth. He also led go-to-market efforts at Topline Pro (YC) and held marketing and strategy roles at Samsung and Philips. Earlier in his career, he co-founded JupiterPet, the leading pet-sitting brand in China. Michael holds an MBA from INSEAD, and outside of work, he paints, experiments in the kitchen, and explores unfamiliar places in search of good stories and better food.

As founders and operators backed by Pear VC and Y-Combinator, we understand entrepreneurs' challenges when trying to find the right talent and resources to scale up their vision. We believe any startup with the proper guidance and support can significantly accelerate its trajectory.

At Nen Creative, we mirror the entrepreneurial spirit of our partners. We operate with passion, dedication, and scrappiness to ensure clients reach their full potential.

The inspiration for Nen Creative comes from Hunter x Hunter, one of our favorite manga series. In this series, “Nen” refers to one’s life energy or aura. It can be cultivated and strengthened through guidance and determination.

In a similar spirit, we believe every founder, startup, or organization has its unique aura and story to be unleashed. Sometimes they need the right partners to make that happen.
