My name is Abbi Beckett. I'm glad you're here. :)
More important than all the fun, creative stuff—and it really is FUN!—I'm a follower of Jesus. I'm married to the love of my life, Jairus (rhymes with Paris). And I'm a mommy to three perfect and WILD littles.
We live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where my husband is the location pastor of our church (LIFEchurch Cedar Rapids), and I'm a full-time stay-at-home mama—which means I get to hang with (wrangle? negotiate with?) the coolest and wildest little girl while her two big brothers go to school a couple blocks away. At the time of writing this, we've got a 7 year-old, 5 year-old, and 2-year-old.
Our life is chaotic and crazy and hard and so so good. I could cry with gratitude just thinking about how blessed I am.
In my downtime, early morning hours at a coffee shop, or...let's be honest...when the 2 year-old is watching Bluey...I squeeze in my work. I'm a full-time mama first and a part-time freelancer second. In that particular order.
I kind of stumbled into this line of work, and it's been such a joy to learn and grow into. I really enjoy layout design, and doing some proofreading and children's book illustration has just been icing on the cake.
Thanks for being here and taking the time to check out my work. If you're interested in working together, shoot me a message on the CONTACT page.
