We at Bklyn Custom Designs® work with a limited number of clients at a time. Every engagement starts with a strategic entry point. Not to be difficult, but to make sure we're the right fit for each other before anyone wastes efforts, time, or money. This page is in case you need a little more info than what's located on the direct pages.
Read before submitting. Applications without a clear business context, vague timelines, or requests for spec work will not receive a response. This is our standard — not a phase.

Bklyn Custom Designs® is selective by design. Every boundary listed here exists because real client work depends on the right fit and the right fit is rare. There's no judgment in a no but there is a standard, and it applies to everyone.
Select the track that matches your need. Each form is specific to that engagement type. This keeps reviews fast and responses relevant.
Digital Flagship™ Intel or Website Remix™
For the business owner who knows something is off — or is ready to transform their site into a Digital Flagship™ that actually works.
Website Remix™ requires a completed Digital Flagship™ Intel or B.I.P.™ Strategy Session first. If you haven’t done either, start with Intel™. This isn’t a gate for the sake of it. It’s how we ensure every Remix™ build is rooted in strategy, not assumptions. You may add either the Digital Flagship™ Intel or B.I.P.™ Strategy Session to your Website Remix™ package to execute first before your build begins.
Please note that if you don’t know your Digital Flagship™ Readiness Score you will be asked to take the assessment before your booking to ensure that you are selecting the best path for your business & brand needs. If you haven’t already, you can get your score here.
B.I.P.™ Strategic Clarity Sessions
For the founder or executive who needs to map their entire digital ecosystem — or get strategic clarity on a specific business challenge — in one focused session.
Every session ends with a documented strategy map, not just notes from your call. You leave knowing exactly where to focus, what to fix, and what to build next.
Major Projects, Retainers & Corporate Work
For corporate teams, mid-size companies, and enterprise organizations who need a strategic tech partner for digital transformation, infrastructure, or brand strategy at scale.
All corporate inquiries go through the application form first. LinkedIn is an appropriate channel for initial corporate intros (see Direct Contact section below). All formal project initial inquiries must come through this form.
PR Appearances, Speaking Engagements & Press
Charlene speaks on digital strategy, brand ecosystems, women in tech, and entrepreneurship. All engagements are reviewed individually.
Charlene does not speak for exposure or in exchange for a badge on your website. A speaking fee is required for all engagements outside of select community appearances. Inquiries without a budget indication or explicit invite will not receive a response.
Applications are the primary path. These are the secondary channels — each with specific terms for when and how they're used.
For Serious Professional Inquiries
LinkedIn is Charlene’s primary professional channel outside of this site. If you’re a corporate decision-maker, a media professional, or someone with a serious project inquiry who prefers a professional introduction before submitting a formal application — LinkedIn is appropriate.
Terms of Engagement
Connect with a personalized note. State your name, organization, and the reason for connecting in the connection request or first message. Generic “I’d like to add you to my network” messages are ignored. No cold sales pitches. No DMs asking for free advice. Serious inquiries only.
For Community Connection + Brand Following
Instagram is where Charlene shows up as da Tech Conjurer™ — behind-the-scenes, strategic commentary, content that challenges how you think about your brand and your business. It’s community, not client intake.
Terms of Engagement
Follow, comment, and engage with content. DMs are not monitored for project inquiries. If you slide into the DMs with a project request, you’ll be redirected here. No exceptions. Instagram is for community — not for bypassing the application process.
Press Kit
For Media, Editorial & PR Teams
Journalists, editors, and podcast producers can request the official BCD press kit — including bio, headshots, brand assets, and Charlene’s media topics — through this channel. All press inquiries should also submit the Speaking & Media application above.
Media Terms
Press kit requests are fulfilled within 3 business days. All media features require editorial approval before publication. Charlene reserves the right to review and decline media placements that do not align with BCD brand values.
All applications are reviewed within 3–7 business days. You will receive a response either way; approved, not a fit right now, or redirected to a better solution all together. No applications are ghosted.
Preferably yes. Website Remix™ applications require either a completed Website Intel™ session or a B.I.P.™ Strategic Clarity Session first. This requirement exists because the Website Remix™ is a strategy-led infrastructure build. Starting without any intel means we'd be making expensive assumptions about your business. The Digital Flagship™ Intel is the best starting point, and it pays for itself.
You can note interest in multiple services in a single initial application or inquiry, but we recommend applying for the most logical starting point first. If you're unsure where to start, take the free Digital Flagship™ Readiness Score, it will give you some perspective of where your business and brand currently stand and a clear recommendation or two of how to work with us.
You'll receive a clear response explaining why, and in most cases, a specific recommendation for the best place to start. Sometimes the timing isn't right. Sometimes a different service is a better fit. Sometimes a free resource like the Digital Flagship™ Readiness Score is the right next step before investing in a paid service. A "No" here is not a forever "No" — it's a "not yet, and here's why."
The initial application and inquiry forms have a 'Notes' field where you can ask a specific clarifying question alongside your initial application or inquiry. For general inquiries that don't fit a specific service track, email or LinkedIn are the appropriate channels to contact us for off-track or specialized services not mentioned on our site. See the Direct Contact section above.
Yes. Please use the Amplify the Message™ channel above. Media inquiries without a completed form, or explicit invite from us, will not receive a response as you're not creating clarity around your request. If you're requesting a press kit, that can be done through the Press Kit channel in the Direct Contact section. However, all formal media appearances still require the application form.
