At the age of 9, Amber received a balloon kit as a gift. She became fascinated with the various techniques for creating unique and colorful balloon shapes and animals. Today, she has a thriving business providing balloon creations to entertain people of all ages. Through stories and narratives, educational lessons are included, as well as moral values. Amber also uses her business as a fundraising opportunity for organizations.
The business provides entertainment for, but not limited to: birthday parties, family reunions, weddings, corporate functions, school events, community events/festivals, church youth groups and scouting functions. The business also provides "balloons to go" (custom orders for balloons/decorations that are pre-made and sold to the customer as takeout orders) and basic face painting.
Amber conducts balloon workshops at CCBC on balloon making and entrepreneurship for youngsters.
