Aaron Firestein had no idea that his aimless doodles, idly drawn in between classes at the University of Oregon, would one day spawn a movement spanning 120 countries. As the Co-Founder and Chief Artist of Bucketfeet, Aaron is quite literally the life force behind the brand, serving as our initial shoe artist and inspiring over 40,000 creators worldwide to join us in our mission to connect people through art. Aaron’s Berkeley, California upbringing and post-graduate years in Buenos Aires imparted him with an insatiable curiosity and open-mindedness that are essential to BucketFeet’s DNA. Now, he serves as the conduit between artists and Bucketfeet, making sure they have everything they need to get the most out of their shoe!
