Livia Beasley Creator, Producer, Chief Pebble Skipper
When she’s not making up silly stories from inside a blanket fort, LIVIA BEASLEY is developing, writing, and producing content for clients across the children’s media landscape, often from her backyard swing in Nutley, New Jersey. Livia has been overjoyed to spend the last 20 years as a content creator for many of the top networks and production companies including Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop, Universal Kids, Minno Kids, 9 Story, Highlights, Harper Collins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Common Sense Media. Livia is also proud to be the founding mama of CHILDREN’S MEDIA ASSOCIATION, the premier national industry organization for children’s media professionals, dedicated to improving the quality of children’s media content by connecting and educating the children’s media community.
Today, Livia Beasley is the chief pebble skipper of PIXEL & PEBBLE, a creative boutique devoted to developing and producing prosocial content that inspires little kids to do big things. In her spare time, Livia loves making short films with her hubby Corey Beasley (of partner company SPARK PIXEL), and playing pretend with their supremely sparkling kiddo. She can also be sometimes spotted noodling on lyrics and vocals as one half the songwriting duo BAREFOOT WALKING.
