About - Affinity Space

About us

Affinity Space is a decentralized international collective.
We believe that design should be open, international, and built together. No closed doors.

We work where code meets craft and technology touches human fragility. Form products to system, from tools to experiences, technology exists to serve people, not the other way atound.
