Erin
OWNER
I am the owner and head balloon stylist behind Young + Wild! I am mom to three sweet kids and married to a bearded man. After leaving my teaching career to stay home with my kids, I needed a creative outlet and started making balloon creations and Young + Wild was born in 2019.
​
I absolutely love all things pink and donuts ( with sprinkles of course ). I'm known for throwing over the top parties and eating endless amounts of candy! To me, no party is complete without confetti or balloons.
