About Background

Our Story

Soft as water, burn like sunshine.

Ember & Tide began with a clear goal: Build software that feels human and vibrant. After years of working in tech, the work became predictable. Fast but empty. Efficient but disconnected from real creativity. We knew there was a better way to build.

So we created our own space.

Ember & Tide is where curiosity, craft, and momentum meet. We focus on making products that feel intentional and full of personality. We bring clarity to the process, excitement to the work, and a sense of adventure to every project.

Our goals are simple:
Make things that feel good to use.
Make things that people remember.
Make things that matter.
