Before we begin;
Topiary is the creative label and studio of Neesh Chaudhary. Most projects are shaped end-to-end by me. Sometimes I work solo, other times with creative partners when a project calls for more brain power.
Collaborators come to me for brand identity, interface, and web design– as well as art direction, motion, and photography. The throughline is visual clarity with conceptual weight.
This form helps me understand what you’re building, and if we fit creatively. I take on a limited number of projects per season and prioritize depth over speed. If your timeline is extremely tight, or the work feels incremental, it may not be the best match.
Comprehensive brand, product and web engagements typically have a baseline around $25-30k to start. As projects grow in complexity and impact they can grow in range between $60k-120k.
For smaller-scale or experimental work, like art direction, shoots, visual content, experiments, etc. the range is more fluid. If the idea resonates, varied budgets of all sizes are welcome.
I tends to say yes to projects when:
- the scope is clear, but ambitious
- the brief allows for experimentation
- the ideas need to feel as strong as they look
Topiary is probably not the right fit for:
- last-minute launch rescues
- pure production or handoff-only requests
- projects without no clear point of view and rushed timelines
If you’re unsure whether your idea belongs here, send it anyway. Curiosity tends to win.

I’ve spent years building creative range across design, direction, code, film, etc. Now I want to offer that as a resource.
Topiary is accepting submissions for collaborative projects. Think alternative brands, short films, generative art, experimental tools, web experiments, tangible objects, rituals, or moments. I help shape and produce selected ideas, then release them under the Topiary label.
Some projects will be commissioned. Others, self-initiated. Some might blur the line. The filter is thoughtfulness, not format.
If it doesn’t have a category yet, it probably belongs here.
