Founded by 9 TSU Graduates

Built different.
On purpose.

In 2018, nine architects and engineers from Tennessee State University started CSBD with a clear mission: create a firm where BIPOC designers could thrive and deliver world-class work.

Our ownership culture means we step up when things get hard. We don’t hand off your project to junior staff — principals stay involved from first conversation to final walkthrough.
