Just a dream with a cup of coffee on the side
The Rufino Group is Tariq and Raeesah Rufino, a husband-and-wife team based in Cape Town. Tariq drives the engineering; Raeesah brings the creative direction. Together, we build mobile apps that are as intuitive as they are beautiful. We started because we believed small, focused teams could make better software than big ones. We still do.
A studio built on craft and curiosity.

Visions realised
A glimpse into what we've shipped
There's always something in the works.
The Rufino Group isn't a project, it's a pursuit. Tariq and Raeesah started with a simple belief: that two people with the right skills and the right vision can build things that matter. GoStudy Now was the first proof of that. GoRoll is the next. And after that? There's already a list.
We're a studio in motion - designing, building, and shipping from Cape Town, one app at a time. We share the journey as we go: the ideas we're exploring, the problems we're solving, and occasionally the ones that humbled us. If you're into watching something be built from the ground up, you're in the right place.
Curious about what we're building?
