Siren Screams

With the COIVD-19 pandemic meaning that public theatre performances and venues were cancelled and closed, Script Sirens took it upon themselves to follow up their lockdown web series, #GoingViral. Focusing on audio drama, Siren Screams is an anthology series of spooky tales written and produced by the Script Siren's team. The project was made possible with funding by the Arts Council England. I wrote the script for episode six, 'Third Time's the Charm', and created promotional artwork and social media assets for the project using Adobe Suite.

I designed the cover artwork for Siren Screams using Adobe Illustrator. Social media animations and ad visuals were created using Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro and Spark.
