ABOUT BECKI PECKHAM

Becki Peckham is a graphic designer by trade, self-taught photographer, and one half of the YouTube channel "Becki and Chris". Originally from Newfoundland, Canada, Becki ran her own micro marketing company on the island for 8 years alongside a home renovation blog before moving across the country to Vancouver, BC. This is where both she and her husband started their YouTube journey. After moving to Buffalo, NY, the channel started to gain traction and turned into a full-time job for Becki.

The couple document content in three broad pillars: travel, visuals, and home. They make videos about their home renovation projects, photography and video tutorials, helicopter travel, and also run an online photo club called "Pixel and Lens Visuals Club,” as well as a podcast called "Tuxedo Time.”

Becki loves to share her knowledge in design and how it relates to video production in hopes to inspire DIY video creators to improve their skills.
