About wonderstory®
Wonderstory is a Christian animation studio based in southern England, specializing in explainer animations for Christian organizations and ministries worldwide.
From Freelancing to Founding Wonderstory
Founder Adam Harding Willis has always been passionate about creativity. His journey began as a teenager, freelancing in design for his home church, The Coign, in Woking. He later studied Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins in London, specializing in animation. After a challenging personal experience in his late teens, Adam recommitted to his faith, which continues to guide him today. After graduation, Adam worked at a London marketing agency, where he honed his motion design skills.
Divine Inspiration and the Birth of Wonderstory
While working at the marketing agency, Adam felt God calling him to focus on kingdom projects. He reached out to a friend at Tearfund, casually inquiring about freelance opportunities. The unexpected reply—”Why are you pretending like you haven’t just seen the job posting I put up?”—became a pivotal moment.
Adam decided to leave his full-time job to take on a part-time contract with Tearfund, which gave him the freedom to build Wonderstory. He saw this as a “God-incidence,” a divinely orchestrated balance between the security of contract work and the risk of pursuing his dream. Over the next five years as Animation Manager, Adam collaborated with nine teams at Tearfund, helping produce over 50 animations while growing Wonderstory on the side. This journey strengthened his resolve to use his creative gifts to serve others and glorify God.
In 2019, Adam was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. While a challenge, Adam faithfully views it as a tool God has used to help him focus on what truly matters. Medication helps him manage his daily symptoms, and he is thankful for the strength God provides to continue his calling.
In May 2024, Adam left Tearfund to dedicate himself to Wonderstory full-time, working alongside his wife, Hope. Wonderstory has multiple team members on remote contracts worldwide, and collaborates with a network of Christian freelancers on a project-by-project basis.
Adam and Hope live in Haslemere with their two boys, Oakley and Jagger. Outside of work, Adam enjoys long walks in the nearby woods, DIY, gardening, and serving on the Alpha and outreach teams at their local church.
