Surfing Dreams

Products & consulting at the edge of maps, markets, and climate.

We build and monetize independent software while helping teams ship product in climate tech and geospatial data — strategy, discovery, and execution — and the name is a reminder of what the work is for: room to get in the water at least once a year.

A small studio with serious product craft.

The name Surfing Dreams is literal: side projects and consulting are how we stack income for at least one real surf trip a year — everything else is the fun part.

Surfing Dreams is the home for our own experiments — tools and products we launch, learn from, and grow — alongside selective consulting for organizations that need an experienced product leader in the room.

Whether you are validating a climate dataset, standing up a geospatial API, or aligning execs on what to build next, we bring structure, empathy, and velocity.
