Show Notes
Simone Elder and Chloe Quigley, are the women behind creative consultancy Ortolan.
With Simone as Creative Director and Chloe as Managing Director, the pair have spent the past two decades building a practice that works between elements of creativity, culture, strategy and design.
Their paths into the creative industry began quite differently - from Simone’s experiences studying and working in Milan, to Chloe’s early training and career in interior design - before coming together to establish Ortolan.
Now celebrating an incredible 20 years in business, we explore not only the evolution of Ortolan, but the partnership behind it.
