Leah Rainey

Proposal writer

Leah worked as a journalist, marketer, interpretive planner, and freelance writer and editor prior to joining Pixo as a proposal writer. A throughline of her varied communications experience, Leah enjoys helping people craft and deploy effective messages about who they are, what they do, and why it matters.

As mom to two young children, her hobbies are either glorified chores (read: cooking) or purely aspirational at the moment. (However, she wouldn’t have it any other way!) She is passionate about protecting natural resources, supporting the arts, and exploring new places, cultures, and ideas.
