Spillian is a portal for imagining, grounded deeply both in a sense of place and of play. We dream that everyone who engages with us will step back into their lives empowered to bring creative energy into their work, their relationships, and the world.
The word Spillian is Old English for to play, to jest, to revel. Spillian Partner Leigh Melander wrote her dissertation on frivolity as an opening into imagination, and the word frivol comes from the same root as revel and rebel. And, incidentally, her mothers family name is Spillers Its in her DNA to create a place where people can revel in a little rebellious creativity!
