A day in the life of a custom balloon installations artist

Business Insider: I've always agreed with Winnie the Pooh: "No one can be uncheered with a balloon." Lucky enough for me, after years of working in the wedding industry I was able to walk away from my corporate job, fully embrace my love of balloons, and turn my side hustle of creating balloon installations into a full-time job.

I found this article really interesting because I didn’t really ever realize that a balloon installation artist was a job that people had. I especially didn’t realize that balloon artists would be working such late hours and doing their work over night I am really glad I read this article because the photos that were in it of her balloon work were beautiful and the way the article was written was just really nice and made me smile when she was talking about her choice of boba and listening to Bruno Mars and walking her lab with her husband. It really is the little things in life that make it great. Also seeing that she was able to leave her corporate job and make a full sustainable career out of what she truly loves is really inspiring. I am so glad there are stories like this where I can see people take risky career choices to follow their passion and they pay off.
