About me

Viwe Mfaku comes from Butterworth a small town in the Eastern

Cape. He spent his week days in this small community having

stayed in most of its residential areas and spent his weekends

in the green rural area of Kentane closely with nature and the

Xhosa farmers way of life. When he is not engaged in the wonder

of the immersive desktop interface he is fully engaged in the real

world absorbed in conversation with the outliers, because of his

belief in open harmony. This makes him encouraging and often

influences change and growth in advertising with his box-smart

thinking as an Art Director.

Having worked under Brian Mthongana, Fred Benistat and Michael

Carter at the Woolworths HQ instilled his love for typography. And

working at Ogilvy & Mather saw a challenge that would propel

some exciting work. He has worked under the mentorship of Nick

Wittenberg, Fred Cillars, Sabine Heckman and Michael Carter he

got the opportunity to work with international brands such as

Audi and Volkswagen.

His digital muscle is constantly being exercised at work and at

play and and the proof is in his work which has been awarded in

one of the top three in the 2014 GovHack Hackathon. This and

the Lean Startup Methodology with mentorship from Allen Jaffe

has enriched his work with clients like Audi, Volkswagen, Virgin

Active, SC Johnson, Kiwi, Castrol, The Mandela Rhodes Place,

Vodacom, BP & GNC.

He has a tenacity that is honest to his name, and he is heard

through a strong visual language in the work he does. He wishes

to grow and learn to make an impact within Africa and abroad in

solution driven creativity that competes globally.
