HELLO, I'M ZAIDAH Z!

I’m a writer, producer, and director for film, TV, and animation, born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Currently, I am working as a freelance writer and illustrator.

In 2016, I received my BA in Writing from the Faculty of Film, Theatre and Animation, at MARA University of Technology. After graduating, I worked full time at The R&D Studio for seven years. With the company, I worked on projects like Disney Asia’s Wizards of Warna Walk (live action series), Sebayan (live action short film), and Batik Girl (animated short film).

Besides writing, I’m also interested in making digital illustrations. Thus, I created Midnight Pavlova as a side business, selling digital products like planners, wallpapers, icons, and more!

I hope to make more magical art as a hijabi Muslim woman and inspire others with my work. I’m currently living in Kuala Lumpur, with my beloved cat Sushi.
