I created the original story concept, character development, and full visual illustration package for Rick the Tick, an animated short centered around an eccentric tick navigating identity and dating in NYC.
From narrative arc to final frame, I was responsible for shaping the tone and personality of the world—illustrating each scene, character pose, and transitional visual with a focus on wit, texture, and emotional rhythm. The result is a playful but pointed visual narrative that balances absurdity with emotional weight.
