The short answer is no, unfortunately Tableau doesn't provide tools to do that.
Its layout customization features are pretty extended though, you should be able to build a dashboard looking almost whatever you like, by using horizontal and vertical containers, transparency (from 2018.3 on) and colors and fonts customization.
A good place for inspiration is Tableau Public, where you can find great dashboards published by other users. Other references can be found here.
As mentioned in the link above, if you want to get your hands dirty you can embed a dashboard that's been published on Tableau in a custom page using Tableau Javascript APIs
The longer answer is yes kinda. I was trying to add css animation and figured I could use Tableau Public and the browser addon Stylus. It works well especially for presenting in a meeting or screenshare- but anyone viewing the workbook would also need to be loading your stylesheet via Stylus on Tableau Public. I recorded a vid showing it in action- https://youtu.be/cDTZj7C-EMg
