We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Brittany Duvall- Herrera a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Brittany, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?
I hope to leave a lasting impression on my children that they may remember their mother as someone who fought to give them everything. Someone whose determination persisted more than the no’s she received. Working tirelessly to set up what I hope to be a family business BCraftyCreations LLC, hoping to instill in them the acts of giving back from the blessing received. Create a family and community bond that effortlessly flows the love poured from their parents.
Brittany, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hi, I’m Brittany, Proud Owner of BCrafty Creations LLC! This has been an interesting and the most unexpected and thrilling ride of my life. I went from working in banking to working in the balloon & event decorating industry. Who would’ve thought? Almost 9 years ago I only decorated for my oldest daughter’s birthday parties and then a few years back before the pandemic hit as a stay at home Mom I had to turn to a profession to help my husband and take care of our four kids. I feel like decorating events especially designing them and installing balloons are art and the artist in me instantly fell in love. I have always loved art since I was a child, so it seemed fitting. This event and balloon industry has reached a whole new level due to social media and I want to be there every step of the way to see where this takes me. BCrafty Creations provided rentals such as candy carts, backdrops, centerpieces and all event decor & needs. We recently went into renting out a Paleta cart. It’s been a huge hit! Especially during hot summer months, and I mean it’s always more hot than cold here in Houston. We’re also looking into adding more things to our shop, we have a few ideas up our sleeve. We can’t wait to show y’all! We are so proud of this small business, we started out so small and seeing it grow, makes me feel great even though there is so much more to accomplish. It’s all about the clients for us and building relationships, we love them and definitely wouldn’t be here without them, we owe this community so much!
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I believe that persistence has helped build my reputation within my market, I do not let the fear of failing or mental limitations stop me from attempting.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
The most effective strategy for growing my clientele has been posting my work along many different platforms. Allowing people the opportunity to see things that we have created and inspiring them to give it their own twist and make a tailored event specific to their needs. Here at BCrafty Creations LLC we believe in representing our clients personality in each event.
