Studio Beaim is a husband and wife duo who are passionate about art, illustration, storyboarding and storytelling.

Stories shape us and have done so since the day we are born. Storytelling is art and art tells stories. Whether fantastical or a bit more grounded in reality, we aim to be intentional in the visual stories we tell. That is why we are crafting our own literature to share through children’s books, graphic novels, and animation. Our services we offer to others who intend to impact hearts with encouragement, and enrich lives through visual storytelling just as we do.
