Where the
builds ship.The Austin studio is where most of our technical builds originate — the engineers, product managers, and recruiting partners who turn a strategy deck into a shipped product. East Sixth, two blocks from Plaza Saltillo, in a renovated 1923 warehouse.

Where strategy meets shipping. And usually wins.
01
Chapter 01 · An Austin Practice
Strategy that
actually ships.
We opened in Austin in 2021 to put our product, engineering, and operator-recruiting teams in the same room. Most of our technical engagements — rebuilds, internal-tools, AI-enabled workflows — originate here. The studio is half-design, half-keyboard, all working surface.
TEAM · ON-SITE
21
Product managers, engineers, designers, and recruiting partners. The largest of our partner studios.
BUILDS · SHIPPED
48
Production builds shipped from this studio in the last 24 months — ranging from internal tools to consumer apps.
FLOOR · SUITE 500
7,400sqft
Open studio, two pair-programming bays, a 12-seat workshop room, and a hardware lab for prototype work.
OPERATORS · PLACED
180+
Senior engineering and product operators placed into client teams — many out of our Austin bench.

Chapter 02 · Address & Map
The exact
front door.
We're in a brick-and-timber warehouse on East 6th between San Marcos and Medina. Entrance is on the alley side — look for the steel awning. Reception is on the second floor; a BBD team member meets every visitor at street level.

Chapter 03 · Why East Sixth, Why Austin
Three reasons
we built here.
Austin's tech corridor moved east a decade ago. We followed the operators we hire and the builders we work alongside. East Sixth is the neighborhood where the work is actually shipped.
REASON · 01
A working operator bench
Austin has the deepest mid-career product and engineering bench outside the Bay Area — and a much lower cost-of-build. Our recruiting partners can fill a senior role in weeks, not quarters.
OUTCOMESenior hires placed in 6-8 weeks on average.
REASON · 02
Time-zone middle-ground
Central Time covers East Coast clients before lunch and West Coast clients after. Most of our cross-coast standups happen on Austin's clock by default.
OUTCOMEA standup that works for everyone.
REASON · 03
A culture that ships
East Sixth still has builders, makers, and a working tempo — not a campus aesthetic. We chose a warehouse, not a tower, because the work happens at standing desks and whiteboards, not in conference rooms.
OUTCOMEA studio that looks like the work.

Chapter 04 · Visiting Us
What to expect
at the door.
The Austin studio is built around production work. Most visits are scoped to a sprint review, a working session, or a hiring loop. Plan for the room to be loud and the whiteboards to be full.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
A few things that make the visit smoother.
Confirm the visit 48 hours ahead, bring photo ID for the building's keycard system, and arrive 10 minutes early. A BBD team member will meet you at the awning entrance on East 6th — the side door is the fastest route in.
Dress for Austin: smart-casual is over-dressed. The studio runs warm in summer; we keep a fridge of cold drinks at reception. Laptops, peripherals, and prototyping kit are welcome — we have spare monitors and dongles in the supply room.
On-site parking has 12 spaces — first-come during the day. The Plaza Saltillo lot is a 6-minute walk and reliably has space. We'll pre-book a car from AUS if you reply to your visit email.

Around the corner
from the lobby.
East Sixth has changed a lot — but the food, coffee, and walk-everywhere density are still its best feature. Spots our team books most often are below.
