The combination of an idea’s woman and a get-stuff-done woman makes for a powerful duo which is shaking things up in the design space. Their creation, The Landing 2.0., is a social design platform that allows everyone to create together. When Ellie and Miri met at the GSB, their connection was almost instant, and since that day, their relationship, and their business has grown from strength to strength. They’ve adopted a “quest” mindset, and aren’t yet sure where they want to be, but they’re so excited about the journey they’re on, and after listening to what they’ve been working on, you will be too!
