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.

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.
