Leonard David Raymundo is an accomplished copywriter and brand consultant with a deep-seated passion for the written word.
Leonard’s writing style is notable in that it is brief, impactful, and – above all else – interesting. He often describes it as a “visual” style, focusing on more than just the diction or grammar, but rather on how his writing factors in the content experience overall. A versatile writer, he is experienced in both long and short form copy.
Leonard entered the professional world as a technology industry employee, specializing in customer service and client relationship management. However, despite the compensation and extensive travel, he never achieved a sense of true fulfillment in his work whatsoever. As time went on, he increasingly pivoted to explore the more creative side of his personality.

Before long, Leonard elevated his dedication to the craft of writing beyond his own rigorous, independent training and enrolled in a number of workshops. Shortly thereafter, a connection in the graphic design industry tapped him to write some copy. That one project snowballed, and he has since written professional full-time.
Leonard David Raymundo fully embraces the increasingly digital landscape of the copywriting world. This centers around a workflow that recognizes writing as more than just the execution of an argument or narrative, but rather a purposefully presented, well-rounded concept.

Writing is unlike anything else in the world, and it is extremely rewarding to see his words and skillset valued.

That is, good writing cannot be easily replicated or outsourced. This adds to the sense of importance and value Leonard ascribes to his craft.
