Zahara is a writer for children’s television. She has over 8 years industry experience in both animation and live-action. Zahara started her career in production working for HIT Entertainment and Penguin Random House before moving into writing. She has a love of storytelling and is currently writing on projects for Jellyfish Pictures, Blue Zoo, and Darrall Macqueen. Zahara has recently written on Moominvalley, Colourblocks, and The Adventures of Paddington for which the writing team was Emmy nominated.
