NEW YORK, NY, November 15, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Barbara J. Camp has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Ms. Camp is a longtime resident of New York City, a distinguished spiritual author, artist, and is presently Senior Vice President with the world's leading search firm in the arts, Billy Clark Creative Management. Given her "birth to present" experience in creative professions—including set designer & stylist; fashion & beauty makeup artist (Milan, London, Paris, New York); graphic designer; artist & illustrator (The New York Times, Coca-Cola); and writer—her segue into curating and recruiting top talent for global A-list design, architecture, and luxury lifestyle clients was seamless. A rightbrain and left-brain thinker, she has managed both the inventive visual and analytical business aspects of each career endeavor.
She has written two spiritual books: Your Soul: Fixer-Upper or Tear-Down? The Bible Blueprint for Renovation and Rebuild! and On the Seventh Day God Rested – 33 New Lessons from the Old Testament. Baby Boomer, Catholic schoolgirl (can readily identify any plaid ever used in a parochial uniform), and '70s Playboy Bunny (another uniform— not plaid—blue satin), Barbara Camp insists that "God writes the best fiction, known as nonfiction." Both books feature Camp's short stories that translate bulletproof, Biblical wisdom (both the Old and New Testaments) into everyman, everyday, modern metaphors. Her books reflect her unique approach to spirituality and creativity, offering readers insightful perspectives on personal growth and faith.
Since 2021, Ms. Camp has held the position of Senior Vice President with Billy Clark Creative Management where she has been instrumental in leading BCCM's innovative practice of exceptional talent acquisition. Prior to this role, she served as a Senior Associate with the same company from 2016 to 2021. During her tenure there, she has successfully managed high-profile search collaborations with preeminent architects, designers and hoteliers. Camp finds genuine fulfillment in engaging with BCCM's elite clientele and extraordinarily gifted candidates, contributing to the creation of iconic building cityscapes, homes, and luxury hotels worldwide.
Before joining Billy Clark Creative Management, Ms. Camp was a Senior Associate at Jack Kelly & Partners from 2013 to 2016. In this role, she honed her recruitment skills, further establishing herself as an expert in her field. Her extensive experience and dedication have earned her recognition and respect within the industry. Prior to joining JK&P she freelanced in the aforementioned professions, primarily as a global fashion & beauty makeup artist to celebrities and top models for Vogue, Bazaar, Elle, Vanity Fair, as well as many other print and film venues.
Born in the Midwest, Ms. Camp's academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design with a minor in Architecture from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her education has played a crucial role in her career achievements, providing her with a solid foundation rooted in design principles. She attributes her success to her strong work ethic, creativity, imagination and faith.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Ms. Camp has served on benefit committees for many NYC institutions such as The Guggenheim Museum; was honored as a 1992 New York Singular Sensation; has been an active member of several design industry-related organizations and Delta Gamma Sorority. She is a charter member of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church, a contributor to various charities including the Bowery Mission and The St Jude Children's Research Hospital and volunteers at a number of organizations. Past outreach includes trips to NYC's Rikers Island prison.
Outside of her career, Ms. Camp enjoys reading from her varied 1,000+ book library; listening to her equally varied collection of music; visiting museums; thrift stores & yard sales; photography; classic movies; designing collage scrapbooks and world travel.
Heeding her inner calling, Barbara Camp's primary aspiration is—in all humility—to be "part of the solution and not the problem." She hopes to avert a cancel-happy culture from hitting "delete" on the most important gift of all: the love of God. Spiritually connecting the populace remains part of an eternal solution.
