Hello, I'm
Angharad
With the ability to work in a range of animation styles, she can create videos that either adhere to the client’s branding or generate a fresh concept, look, and feel for any messaging. Having produced multiple videos in the public domain for a host of well-known brands from past and present DJS Research clients, you know you’re in safe hands.
From animated motion graphics to filming video vox pops, video editing, and photography, she has the ability to produce a wide range of outputs for both clients and DJS Research. To view a sample of Angharad's portfolio view the video animation gallery or explore the full range of creative design and data visualisation services.
During her career within the animation industry, she has spent a number of years in various areas, ranging from working on well-known children’s television programmes, retail adverts, video editing, and e-learning.
A particular highlight was being part of an animation team that went on to win a BAFTA for Best Animated Short. After graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University with a BA (Hons) degree in Illustration with Animation, she went on to study at the Bristol School of Animation on a course organised by the makers of Wallace & Gromit, Aardman Animations, in partnership with UWE.
Outside of work, Angharad has a keen interest in anything creative and is always looking for the next project, which might even be a bit of DIY.

Our Managing Director, Alastair Gleed, and several of our board members are founding figures of DJS Research, having joined in the early post-shed era of the company (intrigued... read about ‘the shed’) and have been in research since the previous millennium! In Spring 2024 we introduced a new scheme to bring fresh thinking and new energy into our boardroom, welcoming three new board members on a rotational basis. Both the initiative and the new members of the team were warmly received, and it's already paid dividends as the trio have had a hugely positive impact company-wide.
