Design & Community
From the moment of our inception, we’ve strived to connect and invest within our own industry. From collaborating with freelancers all around the world to giving back through internships, mentorships, and throwing a motion design festival called the Dash Bash, the success of our studio is dependent on the health and well-being of our community.
MORE ON COMMUNITY
The Dash Bash
The Dash Bash is a two day motion design festival filled with speakers, hangouts, and parties on July 20th and 21st, 2023. No matter if you’re an industry vet or just starting out, there’s a place for you here.
Super Gay Stickers
To help raise money for our LGBTQ+ friends in Raleigh, we launched supergaystickers.com: a website that lets you buy a variety of gay sticker packs. We’re donating all of the proceeds from the Super Gay Sticker sales to help our community and organizations like Raleigh Pride & the LGBT Center of Raleigh. Because everyone deserves to feel safe and comfortable expressing who they are.
Mentorships
The Diversity & Inclusion Mentorship Program provides free advice, tutorage, and connections to artists underrepresented in the Motion Design Industry. By pairing dash staff with emerging creatives who identify with the BIPOC or POC community, we use our resources and network to help prepare a new generation of artists for a career in the Motion Design space.

Progress: Invest in women.
Glass ceilings aside, the metaphor we often see for underrepresented people is finding a seat at the table: how to be included? But how do you get a seat at the table, if you’re waiting on an invite? My advice is to get some tools and build yourself a seat.
Is a 4 day work week possible?
Is a four day work week possible in the animation, motion design, or production industry? This past year Dash Studio gave it a try and honestly, the results may surprise you.
