ZN Design

What ZN Design does

ZN Design is a privately held, New Delhi–based creative design studio founded in 2019 by architects Zubin Kenneth Samuel and Neha Keswani. The studio operates as an integrated branding and interior architecture practice, offering four service lines: branding and visual identity (logo design, brand guidelines, typography, color palettes); interior design and architecture (concept development, space planning, material selection, project coordination); communication design (brand strategy, marketing campaigns, digital marketing, social media management); and product/UI-UX design (user research, wireframing, prototyping, responsive design). Delivery relies on industry-standard tools — Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, React.js, Shopify, Webflow, and Joomla — with no proprietary technology platform disclosed.

The studio earns revenue through project-based professional services fees, with some scope for ongoing retainer arrangements in communication design. Pricing is quote-based, determined by project scope and complexity, and is not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition runs through direct engagement via website inquiry, email ([email protected], [email protected]), phone, and client referrals, supported by organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The client base spans startups and established businesses across food and beverage, fashion and lifestyle, wellness and beauty, consumer goods, technology, and government verticals, with named engagements including JioSaavn, the Ministry of Rural Development (Government of India), and international brands in Canada and the UK.
