THEDUDEABIDES

PROJECT ARCHIVE

MID 2010's

thedudeabides—somehow, I thought this was a good idea for a company name. Hey, I was living in a beach house in Dublin, so maybe the sea air got to me. This was before COVID, so there were very few motion designers in Ireland, and no one was working remotely. So, I got busy and worked with some amazing clients.
