Creating inclusive communities through accessible communications,
together

Because accessible content that can be
understood by everyone isn’t just a
“tick-in-the-box” for your organization.

Helping your business make transformative changes in your communities through equitable and accessible communication.

As an accessible communications consultant, I bridge the gap for those who need tools and training to ensure your content is usable by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.

 
 

Hi, I’m Leanna

I help create digital experiences with accessibility in mind. I work with entrepreneurs, business owners, organizational leaders, and managers to help ensure your message gets to the right people in a way they can understand. I do this through a combination of copywriting, strategy, editing, rewriting, and consulting.

With more than a decade of professional experience, as well as my own lived experience of disability and divergence, I wholeheartedly believe in what I do. I’m motivated to help others and make sure everyone is welcome and included.
