Leigh C. Scariano
Born and raised on Tiwa Land (Albuquerque, New Mexico) and having lived in Italy and on Tongva Land (Los Angeles, California), I bring an evolved, cultured perspective to a wide range of writing assignments. With a degree in Creative Writing from UNM, I’m a passionate, visionary storyteller, dedicated researcher, and skilled technical writer.
Comfort in impermanence is a life philosophy for me. Born out of my grieving process after losing my artist mother to suicide in 2008, it became a mantra to help me accept the cycles of life and death and the fleeting nature of all aspects of existence. My work is inspired by this state of being and by my relationship with the world. I believe in taking on projects beyond mere advertising—ones with a greater purpose: uniting us as human beings and doing good for our community. I am a practitioner of Italian folk magic, a maker, and a mother. My daughter is the love of my life. Some of my favorite activities include curating playlists for my somatic dance classes that I teach here in Albuquerque, riding my bike, swimming in natural bodies of water, singing and playing music, and venturing into nature to connect with Spirit.
