Jackie began balloon twisting professionally in 2010, when she picked up an air pump, some balloons, and realized her love of the art could be beautifully translated using latex as a medium. The former radio host launched her business, With a Twist Balloon Creations, that same year. Jackie is a full-time, award-winning balloon artist specializing in fun and original table decorations and gift items. She debuted as an instructor in 2016 and has since taught classes in Canada, the United States, Mexico, South America, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Elisabeth is the owner of Pop of Color Balloon Design in the United States, and began in the world of balloon and event design almost 8 years ago. She specializes in organic balloon designs with custom colors, and for the past 3 years, she has been teaching her techniques to other professionals in the industry through master classes across the country. She is excited to meet new friends in the balloon world!
With over 30 years of experience, André Figueiredo specializes in large-scale balloon projects. He started unexpectedly in a children's buffet and, by age 17, was already decorating more than 60 hypermarkets. Passionate about learning, he has participated in conferences and trade shows in Brazil and abroad.
With 17 years in the industry, Grace Figueiredo is recognized for her creativity and attention to detail, transforming bouquets into true works of art.
