About me

Neha Tulsian is the Founder & Creative Director of NH1 Design, a branding studio built on the belief that great design drives brand-led business growth.

A graduate of the London College of Communication, Neha began her career at some of the most respected design studios in London and India before founding NH1 Design in Gurugram in 2013.

Early in her journey, she recognised a fundamental truth: clients don't come to designers with design problems they come with business challenges. This perspective shaped her practice and led her to pursue executive education in brand strategy and growth at Harvard, Kellogg, Stanford, London Business School, IDEO, and Brand Gym.

Since its inception, NH1 Design has grown into one of India's most celebrated independent studios winning 12 Kyoorius Blue Elephants, a Global Pentawards Silver, and creating a body of work that lives on shelves, in hearts, and across industries.

Neha has served on the jury of prestigious design awards including D&AD, Pentawards, Young Guns, and Kyoorius, and is a frequent keynote speaker and mentor in the branding and design space.

What Neha enjoys most is the diversity of her work from rebranding fine-dining experiences, to transforming patient journeys in healthcare, to marketing everything from million-dollar homes to one-dollar mints.

What drives her is the opportunity to drive businesses forward through strategy, storytelling, and design.
