About
Bucketfeet is a footwear company that collaborates with a global community of artists to design limited-edition shoes with the goal of sparking meaningful conversations to create a brighter world. With a network of 40,000 artists from more than 120 countries, Bucketfeet empowers artists to share their stories and perspectives using the universal language of art and the shoe as their canvas. Artists are paid upfront and earn royalties for their custom designs, which are manufactured and sold exclusively by Bucketfeet. Through a responsive commerce model, the company is disrupting traditional manufacturing cycles and redefining the $300B footwear industry, letting the Bucketfeet community select styles they’d like to purchase and wear to help inform demand. Bucketfeet was founded in 2011 by Raaja Nemani and Aaron Firestein and is headquartered in Chicago. Bucketfeet has retail studio locations in Chicago and Washington, D.C. and has been sold in more than 15 countries. About the team: We’re a fun, creative team, all rooted in our mission to create a brighter world. We have monthly happy hours, creative off-sites events, and volunteer opportunities to also connect with each other and our community. As importantly, we foster an environment of open communication where no idea is too big or too small.Relevant People
