About Me

My name is Heather Dixon and I am an Artist, Art Director and Game Designer based in Austin, TX.

My work as a creative is about providing a point of authentic connection with others. Whether working on a board game design or an illustration my end goal is to create works that are engaging and pleasing to those who encounter them in galleries, in closets or on game tables.

My first published Board Game, Apistocracy was successfully funded in Spring 2024 on Kickstarter and has just completed fulfillment. My portfolio which includes more about my Apistocracy design journey can be found at https://www.heatherdixon.com/

Here are some of the milestones that inspired my art and Apistocracy!
