About

Hi, I’m Ty Spencer, a menswear designer specializing in softgoods, technical outerwear, and lifestyle apparel with 7+ years of experience. I’ve led end-to-end product development for multiple brands, including six seasonal collections and capsule collaborations at LRG, where I blended cultural storytelling with commercial viability and worked closely with overseas factories to deliver on-time, brand-right product.

I thrive at the intersection of trend forecasting, fabric & trim innovation, PLM management, and creative leadership. My background spans independent studio work, athlete collaborations, and performance-driven design, all grounded in a deep passion for snow sports and culture-driven style. I’m excited by WHITESPACE’s mission to push boundaries in snow sports and would bring a collaborative, creative leadership approach to help build a bold, enduring brand.
