DDXdesign is just me, Dave Dixon.
I draw, design, visualize and create. Take a look below at some notable happenings.

Graphic Design and Illustration |

3D and Fabrication |
2018 Upon success of my patent drawings, Kennedy Innovative Solutions returned to commission a 3D rendering of their patent-pending product, for use in meetings with manufacturers. The 3D model was also a big success, I was told.
2016-present I am currently making and selling accessories for musicians such as the StompPad footswitch cover for effects pedals, with steadily-growing interest among the community 2012 I created a Mega Man costume for ThinkGeek mascot 'Timmy the monkey', which has been worn by the mascot at large conventions including San Diego Comic-Con 2011 My build of a Steampunk-styled Portal Gun generated over 50,000 hits to the Replica Prop Forum in a single day, and won my client a cash prize at a gaming convention. |
Data Visualization |
Most notable is my current charge as a subcontractor for the Federal Government. I have been creating (and in some cases, modernizing and re-creating) dashboards and other dataviz tools for the General Services Administration, Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Defense and the White House. I have been lauded for not only the visual design of the new deliverables, but the increased clarity and overall User Experience improvement as well.
