What is Affari?

A Creative Technology Studio

Affari combines engineering, design, AI and live production to solve real-world problems.


We don't just build software.


We create experiences.


Sometimes that's an AI assistant.

Sometimes it's a customer portal.

Sometimes it's an event that leaves hundreds of people smiling.

Sometimes it's an entirely new product.

Technology is simply the medium.


People are always the purpose.


What we do

Product Creation

Have an idea that won't leave you alone?


We help transform concepts into working products—from first sketch to production-ready platform.


  • Software Products
  • SaaS Platforms
  • AI Applications
  • Mobile & Web Apps
  • Proofs of Concept

Artificial Intelligence

AI shouldn't replace people.


It should amplify them.


We build AI systems that automate repetitive work, improve decision making and give organisations more time to focus on what matters.

Digital Platforms

Scalable platforms built to last.


Whether serving ten users or ten thousand, we engineer systems with security, maintainability and future growth in mind.

Creative Technology

Technology isn't only for offices.


We also work with live events, interactive experiences, automation and technical production where engineering meets creativity.


How We Work

Every project starts with one question.


What experience are we trying to create?


Everything else follows.


We combine:


  • Engineering
  • Design
  • Psychology
  • Business thinking
  • AI
  • User experience


to create solutions that people genuinely enjoy using.


Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Rich.


I've spent my career at the intersection of engineering, creativity and human experience.


I've built software, designed AI systems, produced live events, developed specialist engineering tools and helped organisations solve unusual problems.


One thing has remained constant.


I love creating things that improve people's experiences.


Whether that's software, an event, a platform or something entirely new, my goal is always the same:


Use technology to help people connect, create, learn and enjoy more.

My Philosophy

Technology is the tool.

People are the purpose.


The best technology is the technology people barely notice — because they're focused on the experience it creates.
