Hello, my name is Shellyann, owner and balloon artist/twister of Wild About Balloons! This is a snippet of my story: In high school, my hairdresser convinced me to learn a few basic balloon animal designs and work for tips at restaurants for her sister’s business. Well, what was supposed to be a nice summer gig then turned into a whole year of solid work and experience. Upon falling in love with this field, if you will, and rather quickly, I decided to start my own business at the age of 17, and NEVER have I looked back! It has been an absolute pleasure to entertain people and families all over Southern California, the place I’ve always called home. I truly love and adore the way balloons have introduced me to amazing people, beautiful cultures, stunning destinations, and incredibly delicious food… all from assiduously serving events ranging from small, humble birthday parties to star-studded movie premieres. Making a career out of my art has been a wondrous blessing, while being exposed to such worldly experiences, rich with diversity, has helped mold me into a better artist and to grow as a person of great empathy.
