Toward the end of Spoljaric’s tenure at The Attik, Spoljaric joined the Phantom Research Foundation, a creative collective of designers, artists and musicians who generate personal projects and also work with commercial clients.

In 2011 Spoljaric joined the exclusive Global Brand Initiatives group, a small team of designers focusing on special projects that drive global cross-category initiatives.
