HighStreet People: Brent Miller

Name: Brent Miller

Birthday:  Feb. 12, Aquarius.

Where is Home?  Gateway Quarter, Over-The-Rhine. Cincinnati

Where he works. What he does:  Procter & Gamble Beauty. External Relations. Social & Media Networker. World Traveler.

His Motivation? “Everyday is an adven­ture and you have to find excite­ment from the triv­ial to the interesting.”

Objects of Affection: Recovered objects as art. Obscure cul­tural ref­er­ences to things only some­one a gen­er­a­tion older should know. Female singers (Neko Case. Brandi Carlile. Patty Griffin, etc.).  My pass­port. Alexander McQueen. Enlightening conversation. Rose Kennedy (vodka, soda, slight hint of cran­berry with a lemon).  My niece and nephew.

Otherwise Obscured Fact: “ On my first day of work in the Clinton White House, I man­aged to fall down the grand stair­case and land in front of the China Room as the Secretary of State walked by. Although she did not help me up, she did observe that the fall was likely painful.  I am still unsure if it was a ref­er­ence to a phys­i­cal injury or my dignity.”

Brent’s HighStreet:  As a design client, he loved HighStreet’s “abil­ity to take new con­cepts and tai­lor them to fit his style.”  HighStreet cre­ated a mon­tage fea­tur­ing twenty-one vin­tage license plates he inher­ited from his grand­fa­ther. “Not only do I love the way they look, but they are even bet­ter because of the per­sonal asso­ci­a­tion with my grandpa.”
