Hi, I’m Matisse.
Yup, just like the artist. Last name, Walkden-Brown.

WHO AM I?
I am a writer, notetaker, and storymaker by habit and personality, I am a kid who grew up in a backpackers resort in Fiji, but mostly a kid who never really grew up at all. I watch a lot of television. I write things in my notebook. I make up some stories. Some of them I share.

I’m also a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, a very ex-model, and a terrible cook.

WHAT DO I DO?
I write a weekly dispatch called Field Notes of a Silly Girl. They are messy notes from a silly goose, observing human life and trying to find magic in its fabric.

I run The Poesy Club with a friend, where we run creative play-based events that hold onto kidhood, magic and whimsy for dear life.

And sometimes, in a more structured corner of the world, I run a strategy and storytelling studio called Good Form Media, where stories are shaped into impact campaigns (it turns out the same instincts apply). We even made a super cool software to simplify all things impact strategy, so we can get back to the fun stuff. It’s called  Formmity.

WHY DO I DO IT?
Because I crave human connection, and kindling joy and juvenescence through storytelling, is the best way I know how.
