about amanda

So often people ask how I learned so many different balloons. The short answer is that I had a very interesting childhood. The long answer is that when I was in 3rd grade my parents wanted to be better Sunday school teachers so they learned how to do a simple sword and a simple dog. After that we learned the old fashion way by books, practice, and some balloons we just made up. 

For a long time, I was my mom's magic assistant as well, we will see if that ever comes back in to play.

In Ohio, while working for my parents, I did many birthday parties, city wide events for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, company parties, vacation bible schools, restaurant family nights and SO much more. I earned money that helped me attend Ohio State University for Engineering.

I graduated in 2016 and moved down to Georgia for my first "big girl" job as a research engineer. I met my husband here in Georgia and we got married in March of 2018.

I decided to start up Amplified Balloons LLC for a couple reasons. One being it allows me to put some of my creative brains to use while still allowing me to talk to so many people and kids! I really enjoy talking to kids while I make balloons for them and I love when they come up with new ideas! The other reason is to pay off that pesky student debt that so many of us suffer from.
