"My design work connects people to the product. My passion connects teammates to each other and to the company."
Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil—rich in nutrients and essential for growth. It takes centuries to form naturally. Inspired by his family’s agricultural roots, founder Jimmy Chan chose Topsoil as a name that reflects his design philosophy: cultivating ideas with care, patience, and purpose.
Originally envisioned as an agency, Topsoil evolved into a one-person studio, allowing Jimmy to build more direct and meaningful relationships with clients. While he runs the studio independently, he occasionally collaborates with contractors for support or creative consultation.
A creative designer with a passion for collaboration, Jimmy specializes in branding, graphic design, illustration, and motion graphics. With a keen instinct for storytelling and visual communication, he transforms ideas into work that is memorable, meaningful, and beautiful.
Let’s plant some ideas and grow something great together.
