BIOGRAPHIES
Jill
CAMENAE was born from Jill Walker’s desire to produce a more original and fashionable handbag than mass-produced designer label handbags that come and go from season-to-season. She set out to create what is now known as CAMENAE – an exclusive line of handbags and accessories that exude luxury and style, giving women the ability to personalize and develop their own private collection.
Previously, Jill Walker and Brittany Callard were co-owners of their London based international advertising agency, which they sold after eight successful years. Since then, Jill has focused on the design and development of CAMENAE Group.
Originally a designer, educated in Paris, France, Jill is now able to communicate her true passion for design with her practical international business experiences. As a result, her bags are distinguishable in an over-crowded market place of accessories with the ability to reinvent through interchangeable straps with each new collection.
Jill is an American-British citizen and divides her professional time between Italy and the US. She has multi-cultural experience encompassing the US, Europe, and Asia. Her business experience and natural product design is complimented by her cross-cultural experiences of studying, working, and designing across three continents for over fifteen years. Her passion and exceptional taste resonates through her and her product.
Jill’s goal is for women across the world to embrace the CAMENAE philosophy and lifestyle – intelligent luxury and the ability to change.
Brittany
Brittany’s professional career began in the London bureau of the American news organization, ABC News. She worked on the editorial desk and in production, where she dealt with the pressure and demanding environment of live breaking news throughout the coverage area of Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Five years at ABC primed her for her next position as C.E.O. for her international advertising agency. Brittany spent the next eight years managing and developing The Callard Company International Ltd, with co-owner Jill Walker. Brittany and Jill have known each other for over twenty years and plan to continue their success as partners in CAMENAE.
Brittany is an American-British citizen currently based in Singapore. Half of her life has been spent in cross-cultural exchanges: living, studying, and working across the US, Europe and Asia. Brittany manages the day-to-day operations of Camenae.
