Hello, my name is April, and I'm a balloon artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I've always loved balloons since I was young, and I decided to turn my passion into a profession over 5 years ago. Since then, I've been making beautiful and unique balloon creations for various events and occasions. I've created designs for baby showers, birthday celebrations, graduations, corporate events, anniversaries, and more. I use high-quality latex balloons that are biodegradable and eco-friendly. I can make anything from simple bouquets and centerpieces to elaborate arches and columns. If you're looking for a balloon artist who can add some magic and charm to your event, please get in touch with me. I can't wait to work with you and make your event spectacular.
