In my time working in the balloon industry, I’ve earned many awards and honors. From having my balloon art featured on the cover of a trade calendar to teaching balloon costume design at some of the biggest conventions, I am proud of each of these accomplishments! Mostly, I am honored to be a part of such a creative and exciting worldwide community of balloon artists. The opportunity to teach my designs and learn from others who create bigger projects or have a new and exciting technique I can use is something I don’t take for granted. All of this makes the art I can offer to my clients more unique and special. Seeing the faces of people when they receive a balloon marquee or see a giant balloon costume for the first time is very exciting and makes me want to keep elevating my art.
