'I've never said no to work': Jeremiah Brent on how he's building his design legacy
"As time goes on, my work is known for a real kaleidoscope of design styles. Everybody is so different, and their stories and their narratives are so different. I really want to be known as somebody who executes your story, not somebody who executes what I do really well. I don't want to be one thing."
"I'm an early riser. I don't need a ton of sleep. I usually get up around 4 or 4:30 a.m. I have the mornings to myself; my kids are all sleeping. I've got three hours of uninterrupted silence with far too much coffee. Music on, candles lit, and I work."
Jeremiah Brent began his design journey as a child visiting open houses in Modesto, California, imagining the lives of potential residents. This early fascination evolved into a thriving career managing a 50-person design firm, appearing on Queer Eye, and launching a bedding collection with Target. Brent approaches his work with humor and self-awareness, acknowledging his perfectionist tendencies while drawing inspiration from diverse sources including design archives and popular culture. As his firm enters its second decade, Brent has shifted his creative philosophy toward client-centered storytelling rather than imposing a singular design aesthetic. He maintains an early morning routine starting at 4:30 a.m., dedicating uninterrupted time to work and writing.
