What happens when a cruise ship performer trades in vocals for balloon couture and 10-foot cyborg suits?

🎥 Filmed at Canon Coffee in Apopka — huge thanks to this cozy local favorite for hosting us for coffee and conversation!

Grant Andreae is the wildly creative founder of Andreae Balloon Studio — and I’m telling you right now, he’s not just making balloon animals. This guy is transforming events, magazine covers, and entire rooms with color, character, and imagination that most of us couldn’t even dream up.

And yes, he taught me how to make a balloon dog. Mine turned into a poodle. Naturally.

We talked about:
🎭 The 10-foot balloon cyborg he wore at Comic-Con
💡 The balloon trend he wishes would disappear already
📸 The behind-the-scenes of his Best of the Best magazine cover
🎈 Why balloon art is a reminder to live in the moment
🌱 What it’s like to start a creative business from scratch in a brand-new city

Want to bring balloon magic to your next event? Whether it’s immersive decor, high-fashion walkaround performers, or a full-blown balloon workshop, Grant’s your guy.
