About


A committed, data-motivated designer and entrepreneur with a unique blend of curiosity, creativity, and strategic vision.

Hi there! My name is Dillon Hickey and I combine functionality and elegance to create enhanced user experiences.

My WorkAs an XR/Product designer, graphic designer, and savvy entrepreneur, I specialize in transforming complex ideas into intuitive, user-friendly designs. My approach is rooted in the core principles of UX design, emphasizing user needs while also driving business growth. I have a real passion for seamless UX design as well as extended reality, where I see massive opportunities for innovation and creation.

My Background Growing up I considered myself a curious explorer, diving head first into any interest that crossed my path. I’ve been a curious explorer my whole life, which has led me to maintain a diverse set of hobbies and continuous learning opportunities, enabling me to maintain my growth mindset.

My HobbiesWhile not pushing pixels or creatively solving problems,
I enjoy playing video games, cycling, culinary arts, and reading about design, mythology and fantasy, as well as taking various organized classes. I consider myself a lifelong learner with a growth mindset and allow each interaction with any of my hobbies to be a learning opportunity. I also enjoy the little things in life with my dog, Halpert (Yes, like Jim Halpert from The Office), who helps me find inspiration in the everyday.
