About

The Man Behind the Work

Operator. Founder. Problem Solver.

Elvis Tapfumanei

Who I Am

I exist at the center of logic and creativity.

By day, I create operational systems that help fintech companies scale. By night (and weekends), I build digital products, write poetry, and craft stories that explore the human condition.

I believe the same skills that make you a good strategist — pattern recognition, systems thinking, narrative structure — also make you a compelling storyteller and effective creator.

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, I work with companies globally and create for audiences everywhere.
