ABOUT
Tapanga Koe is a published author whose work is driven by a simple mission: to bring clarity, depth, and resonance to words—for her clients, and for her readers. She has spent years wearing more hats than one head should carry: grant writer, tech tinkerer, quality lead, document wrangler, and wily weekend warrior. In her role as a Continuous Improvement Manager, she crafts systems where none existed, carving pathways that make the unworkable workable.
Her foundation has always been in writing. Tapanga is the author and co-author of several educational series designed to make learning accessible. She also explores the nature of chaos and structure in her poetry and speculative short fiction, which has appeared in the anthologies They Have to Take You In (featuring the story "Orange and Amber") and Food of My People, as well as in venues like Mystery Weekly and Unnerving Magazine.
The insights shared here aren’t borrowed from corporate playbooks or self-help clichés. They were forged in the trenches of real human overload: family obligations, housing crises, impossible deadlines, long nights, and the relentless effort to bring clarity to systems that quietly grind people down.
When not solving systemic knots, she experiments with practical tools and publishes content—including inspirational fiction and insights on resilience—that reminds us of our shared humanity. This site is her honest space for connection and insight, because survival is already hard enough without having to struggle alone.
💙 About Miffy
Miffy is the resident muse and nervous system whisperer at Human at Work. She’s a papillon and unreasonably confident for someone who still naps through most of the day.
Her specialties include emotional regulation, pattern interruption (usually via squeaky toy) and demonstrating what true presence looks like. Miffy reminds us daily that rest is productive, attention is love, and joy belongs in every system.
When she’s not supervising edits, she can be found sleeping in patches of sunlight or lobbying for an earlier, preferably cheese-based dinner.
