Everything begins with narrative.
Narrative is the emergence of meaning through structured progression.
When narrative is off, ideas stall and stories drift. I partner with authors and founders to define and harness the narrative architecture behind their work—and, where needed, to translate it into clear, compelling writing—so everything they’re building moves forward with clarity, momentum, and purpose.
Narrative Diagnosis
I identify where a story or initiative’s narrative breaks down—and outline clear, actionable paths forward.
Narrative Design
I help design the underlying architecture of a story or initiative—aligning concept and intention with impact and outcome.
Narrative Strategy
I help founders and creatives ensure that what they’re building moves forward with alignment and purpose.
Narrative Execution
I write and revise manuscripts, screenplays, and proposals—ensuring the final work is clear, compelling, and structurally sound.
Born and raised in Kenya, east Africa, Gregory works across story and creative direction. He partners with founders, storytellers, and creatives to clarify and refine the narrative architecture behind their ideas—aligning concept and execution so the work can find its fullest expression.
Gregory’s practice is both advisory and hands-on: from shaping books and screenplays to guiding projects and initiatives at the level of narrative design. He is the writer of Chasing the Panther: Adventures and Misadventures of a Cinematic Life (HarperCollins), the memoir of film pioneer Carolyn Pfeiffer. His recent film work includes Running Dry, currently in production in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and Dear Stranger, from Japanese auteur Tetsuya Mariko.
Gregory is the creator of Narrative by Nature, an evolving framework for understanding story as a living system, and Choosie, a platform exploring collective decision-making as a narrative act. His current creative projects—Earthshine and Deepest Blue—extend this inquiry further, each examining how individuals navigate the structures that shape their lives.
Gregory’s ongoing art project, #streettreasure, is a collection of found objects.
If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
“Rewarding on every level. A wonderful writer. A first-rate collaborator.”

Author & Producer
Gregory opened up my understanding of structure, timing, and perhaps most importantly, the value of what I as a writer have to offer.
