Our philosophy…

Working with me, you’ll get a custom experience. Whether you are sending balloons to a college student who misses their dog or hosting a party with a unique theme, I will work with you to add fun details to your order that you won’t get at a big box store. I send photos of the balloons to you as well as a shot of the recipient with their piece whenever possible.

Why choose me?

I have over 15 years of experience working with balloons. Early on, I learned the value of education in this industry and attended many workshops and conventions to learn more about balloons and balloon art. Now as a leader in the balloon industry, I teach at balloon conventions and run workshops for other balloon artists on how to design and create beautiful balloon art.
