Takashi Yoshii - Japan

Born in New York City and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Takashi Yoshii is as bi-cultural as they come. The Japanese-American spent his childhood in pursuit of both art and excellence in tennis, and his hard work paid off. He attended the University of Notre Dame, where he played on the men’s varsity tennis team and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design. The BucketFeet team is very lucky to call Takashi one of our own, and he now spends his days helping artists refine their BucketFeet designs. His inspirations run the gamut, though he is particularly conscious of work by Allen Hemberger and Ryan Meindering, artists with whom he shares his alma mater.
