Founded in 2009, KILLSPENCER® designs and builds premium artifacts that reflect their passion for materials and timeless craftsmanship. The brand's philosophy is based on the principle that every handmade product is engineered for performance and utility. Headquartered in California, their heritage is rooted in their ability to create. Dream It. Build It. KILLSPENCER® starts with Spencer Nikosey—a Los Angeles-based industrial designer. A graduate of ArtCenter College of Design, his inspiration for performance, functionality and quality are inherent to everything he touches. Giving a relentless effort in order to always improve - even if it kills him - that unwavering drive to succeed is what the KILLSPENCER® name stands for. It’s a nod to ingenuity in construction and the constant pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship.

KILLSPENCER® originated in 2009 as a personal project of Spencer Nikosey who wanted to locally craft the perfect sustainable and waterproof backpack. With high demand for his designs from his peers at ArtCenter College of Design, the brand was born.
