10 Questions With Charlene

  • What’s your favorite thing about working at cb{d}?

    When you’re a creative, you want to do good work, and we make some of the best websites in the industry. I’m proud to be part of that! I also enjoy getting to know clients and delving into what they do. Every project is a fresh learning experience.

  • What fuels your workday?

    Black coffee, vegan jerky and audio-only “Judge Judy.”

  • What makes you smile at the office?

    Our office kitty, El. (Except when she steals my chair, which is…often.) I’m also energized by a quick brainstorming session!

  • Where can we find you on a typical Friday night?

    If I’m not onstage at a local theatre, you’ll find me at home with my wife, Sara, and assorted cats, watching “The Great British Baking Show” or reading.

  • What is the best compliment you have ever received?

    “Eccentric and unfiltered.” It was a review for a theatre performance, but the “eccentric” part might apply day-to-day!

  • If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be?

    Flavia Domitilla, niece of the notorious first-century Roman emperor Domitian. She was exiled for being a Christian, and I’m fascinated as to how a Roman imperial joined what was, at that time, very much an outsider religion.

    Or—Boudica, Warrior Queen of the Iceni, for sheer badassery.

  • Who would you cast as yourself in a movie about your life?

    If age matching isn’t an issue, Glenn Close. She can play everything from realistic drama to scenery-chewing comedy.

  • What is one movie you wish you could watch again for the first time?

    “Galaxy Quest.” It is quite literally the perfect film. Every time I start watching a new movie, I wonder if it will be my next “Galaxy Quest,”…but alas, it never is.

  • Do you have any pets?

    We have an adorable bunch of cats: Arthas, Snuggles, Maeve, Lord Faren, Wiress and Beetee.

  • Are you a gamer? If so, what is your go-to game?

    Tabletop—Dungeons & Dragons. Video games—Dragon Age: Inquisition, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Tomb Raider.
