About Michelle Ando

Hi, I’m Michelle Ando—the owner and balloon artist behind Michelle’s Balloon Twisting! What began as a creative hobby quickly turned into a true passion for bringing joy, laughter, and color to people of all ages through the art of balloon twisting. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of entertaining at birthday parties, school events, community festivals, corporate gatherings, and so much more throughout Alameda and the surrounding Bay Area.

What I love most is the instant smiles and connections that balloon art creates—watching a child’s face light up when they see their favorite animal come to life or seeing adults amazed by the creativity and detail in each design. Every balloon I twist is made with heart, imagination, and a whole lot of fun! Whether your event is big or small, themed or casual, I bring a high-energy, professional, and playful presence that helps make your celebration unforgettable. I’d be honored to be part of your next special occasion and share the magic of balloons with your guests!
