Tumi Ncube is a brand and marketing consultant, visual Ai specialist, and the founder of Digitise with Tumi — an image and brand consultancy specialising in AI photography and video for products and personal brands.

She began her career in brand consulting and strategy, then spent ten years leading marketing and promotional initiatives for a cosmetics company, where she spearheaded new product launches, market entry strategies, and brand building across the SADC region and the USA. That decade sharpened her conviction that public perception is a brand’s most valuable asset — and that most emerging brands simply can’t afford to build it.

She founded Digitise with Tumi in January 2026 to change that. By replacing expensive, single-use props, studios, and shoot days with AI-crafted photography, she gives growing brands access to endless locations, environments, and looks at a fraction of the traditional cost. The same approach helps entrepreneurs and professionals build personal brands without a studio, a stylist, or a photoshoot budget.

Her purpose is straightforward: level the playing field, so new brands can compete on the quality of their imagery rather than the size of their budget. Tumi believes positioning is the foundation and visuals and storytelling are how its expressed, get it right and opportunities start finding you.
