Meet Meghan the Human, Founder

Meghan lives in Columbus, Ohio, where she founded 365 Days of Balloons. She graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2007 with a BFA in Graphic Design, worked briefly in advertising, before continuing her education with a MA from University of the Arts London in Graphic Design Research & Methodologies. When she isn’t twisting, she is either at the park with Pippa the Pup, or working downtown for an environmental design firm creating retail and restaurant spaces.

At age 12, she found out there was no need for a clown to be present for her to have a balloon animal any time she wanted. In 2006, while studying abroad in Florence, Italy, that talent was rekindled in a balloon inspired photography project “Capturing Nostalgia with Strangers”. Then this skill was revived again in 2013, when she challenged herself to make a balloon animal every day for a year. That was the year 365 Days of Balloons was born and her simple creations grew to more elaborate designs.

In 2014, 365 Days of Balloons was named as one of Tumblr’s “Year in Review, Big in 2014” blogs and 365 Days of Balloons was then commissioned by ABC Family to partner on a daily social media campaign for their “13 Nights of Halloween” and “25 Days of Christmas” specials. She recently did a social media partnership for a London Boutique called Lazy Oaf.

With her experience in environment design along with her impeccable eye for detail, Meghan takes ordinary balloons and twists them into modern works of art. With over 53k followers between tumblr, facebook and instagram, 365 Days of Balloons has truly blown up, and now with the launch of this site she, and Pippa the Pup, want to spread more joy through their creations.

Meet Pippa the Pup,
#1 Project Manager

Pippa is Meghan’s trusty sidekick and a grrrreat project manager. She is the reason we here at 365 Days of Balloons have a good work/life balance and she keeps us all down to earth. Pippa is always making sure Meghan stops work to eat and runs a very tight ship with her park schedule. She single paw’ly reduced the amount of popping balloons in the studio.
