Little things make ripples.
Livia Beasley Chief Pebble Skipper, Pixel & Pebble
Livia Beasley is the chief pebble skipper of PIXEL & PEBBLE, a creative boutique devoted to developing and producing children's media that inspires little kids to do big things.
With a background spanning over two decades and far reaches of the children's media landscape, Livia has delighted in her roles as a creator, writer, producer, and development executive for leading networks and production companies such as Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop, Peacock, 9 Story, Highlights, Harper Collins, and BabyFirst. Continuously honing her craft as a versatile content creator, Livia thrives in the creative sandbox that encompasses live action, puppets, animation, podcasts, music videos, and digital games. She loves creating and creatively overseeing series, short form content, and development strategies that meet the ever-evolving needs of children, while resonating on those universally loved qualities -- relatable characters, whimsical stories, quirky humor, and captivating music. Currently, Livia acts as a development executive and executive producer of original series at Minno Kids, while also actively creating new properties.
Beyond her creative career, Livia takes pride in founding the CHILDREN’S MEDIA ASSOCIATION, the international industry organization for children’s media professionals, now celebrating 20 years dedicated to improving the quality of children’s media content by connecting and educating the children’s media community around the world.
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 occasionally spotted noodling on lyrics and vocals as one half the mostly-retired songwriting duo BAREFOOT WALKING.
A filmmaker with mastery in cinematography, visual effects, and editing, COREY (SNYDER) BEASLEY leads the technical and visual side of Pixel & Pebble's sister production boutique SPARK PIXEL. With over 20 years years of experience as a creative problem solver; Corey has worked on many tv shows, features, and commercials as either a cinematographer, motion graphic designer, compositor, or 3d artist.
Corey began his career in post production in Texas, working for high end companies including ReelFX. In 2008, Corey moved to New York to further his filmmaking career, where he has since created numerous short films including documentaries, music videos, web series, and series pilots all soup to nuts. Corey has created visual effects for commercial agencies including Creative Bubble, Shilo, Gray, and Ogilvy; and television series including Blacklist, Preacher, Mr. Robot, Luke Cage, Punisher, and The Tick. Corey has run camera for commercial agencies such as The Mill, Digital Kitchen, and MTV Networks; and series including This Old House, Truck Stop Missouri, BallBoys, and Oddities.
In his spare time, Corey loves easy hikes, hot coffee, and playing cushion burger with his incredible kid.
