At Basics of Story Design, we're empowering the next generation of storytellers to tell stories that aren't being told, and need to be told to create the world we want to see and live in—and that build a powerful connection with global audiences. From screenwriters to film producers, and startups to fortune 500 CEOs, there's a story solution for you.
