About Me
I am an experienced creative with an 20-year background in children’s media, most recently Head Writer and Creative Producer on My Friend Maisy for Sky Kids.
I have writing credits on over 300 episodes of pre-school TV, on multi-award-winning shows like 'Peppa Pig', 'Sarah and Duck', 'Dipdap', 'Olobob Top', 'Tish Tash' and 'Morph'.
If you’re looking for a creative partner with a deep understanding of what resonates with young audiences, I would love to hear from you.

Reference
Reference from Joel Stewart, creator and director of The Adventures of Abney and Teal:
“Matilda has provided the majority of plot-lines for our writing, as well as much of the narration and many, many general ideas and lots of editorial work throughout the whole process. Her ideas have been consistently funny, original, surprising, and downright numerous and I basically can't recommend her highly enough!” August 2011
