About Nen Creative

Nen Creative is an interdisciplinary creative agency and media-production studio serving venture-backed technology companies. Founded in 2022 by brothers Jason Zhu and Michael Zhu, the independently operated firm combines brand strategy, product design and commercial filmmaking to help companies define their visual identity, digital experience and public narrative.

Its design practice spans brand strategy, visual identity systems, pitch decks, art direction, illustration, motion assets and design systems. For websites and digital products, the team provides web design and development, interaction design, content layout, UX architecture, interface design, user research and interactive prototyping. These capabilities support startups and technology businesses as they move from early positioning through product launches and broader brand development.

Film, motion and launch storytelling

Nen Creative also operates an on-set production practice for commercial and launch work. Its services include concept development, scriptwriting, directing, live-action cinematography, production management, product explainers, customer-documentary films, motion design, 2D/3D animation, colour grading and editing. The studio brings together directors, cinematographers and producers for shoots as well as designers working on the visual systems that surround a campaign.

The company’s work is focused on high-growth technology markets, including AI, enterprise SaaS, developer tools, fintech, consumer technology, digital health and biotech. Supported project and client credits include Cursor, Daydream, Mercor AI, Wispr Flow, Browserbase, Decagon, Flora AI, Andreessen Horowitz, Pear VC, Mantis VC, Harlem Capital and Amazon.

Design for technology companies

Nen Creative’s approach connects digital design with physical production: brand guidelines, Webflow sites, product interfaces and campaign assets can be developed alongside launch films and commercial video. This integrated model is designed for founders, venture firms and technology teams that need both strategic design support and polished visual storytelling.

The studio is active and maintains creative and production operations across San Francisco, New York City and Los Angeles. Its work ranges from foundational brand and product-design engagements to live-action campaigns and motion-led launch materials.
