Author Biography
Sandi Masori, CBA CMT, is a four- time best-selling author, TV personality, coach, marketer and balloon expert, (and a mom, daughter and wife). She began her journey into balloons in 1994 when she was a first grade teacher in Los Angeles. She quickly found that she had an affinity for balloon shapes and began busking in the bars and night- clubs of LA. She also started using balloons in the classroom to encourage good behavior. By and by she was invited to perform in Japan and spent a year and a half making balloons in the Kansai region. Eventually her travels took her to Israel, where she met her husband and started the transition from balloon entertainment to balloon decorations as well. Masori and her husband moved to San Diego in 2000 and opened up under the name Balloon Utopia, where they have been operating as San Diego's premiere balloon company ever since. From the time that she began making balloons, Sandi has been sought after to teach at international conventions and workshops. She was the first female balloon artist to release an instructional video for the balloon twisting industry. Masori also authored and published two other best-selling books on balloons. She has produced hundreds of instructional videos, for both her own channel and those of her clients. Sandi's YouTube channel, Sandi Masori Balloons has over 8,000 subscribers. She has appeared on local and national TV shows like Daytime and The Today Show, and has been called by the media "America's Top Balloon Expert". Rachel Porter, CBA, of Balloon Splendor in Mt. Vernon, WA, started doing balloons in 1994 after a ten year career working for a military contractor and quickly became one of the premiere decorators in Western Washington. Transitioning from a technical, analytical environment to a highly artistic and dynamic environment revealed a creative side to her personality that was previously untapped. Simply put, Rachel enjoys creating. Naturally inquisitive, she likes to watch and learn from other artists, appreciating the different techniques employed in creating beautiful things, and applying or adapting the new techniques to her balloon art. Besides creating with balloons, Rachel enjoys crocheting, gar-dening, and repurposing everything. "There's a deep satisfaction I feel, when I step back and look at something I've made myself," she commented, "for me, it's not about being thrifty, it's about expressing myself in as many ways as I can."
