Ghirlandaio was the most sought-after fresco painter in the city, not because he worked alone, but because he didn’t.
His bottega was built around a precise division of attention: Ghirlandaio established the composition, the figures, the light.
Trusted collaborators carried the work forward, applying the final glazes, rendering the faces, bringing the surface to life.
The paintings you see today in Santa Maria Novella are the product of both.
You can’t tell where one ends and the other begins. That was the point.
The Top of Funnel team owns the introduction to a company that believes design is how you show people you take them seriously.
We’re looking for a Senior Design Engineer who works the way Ghirlandaio’s bottega did: close enough to the creative process to carry it forward, and skilled enough to know the difference between almost right and actually right. What you’ll do:
Our brand designers work at high velocity, producing considered, high-fidelity layouts.
Your job is to carry that work forward, with enough taste to honor the intention and enough craft to make it feel native to the web.
Bring the web platform to the table, not just the design spec.
