We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Victoria Williams. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Victoria below.
Victoria , appreciate you joining us today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?
My journey into balloon art began with a single virtual class, but it was YouTube and hands-on experimentation that truly honed my skills. Through trial and error, I discovered what works best for me and how to create stunning displays.The key to mastering balloon art? Patience. It’s a skill that requires time, effort, and dedication. To deliver exceptional results, I always allocate several hours to perfect my craft.One obstacle I’ve faced is self-doubt – not knowing my worth. It’s essential to recognize your value and abilities, as undervaluing yourself can impact your confidence and the quality of your work.
Victoria , 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?

I share my thoughts, reflections, and insights on navigating the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being a PK.
I’m excited to share my story with you and hope that it will inspire, encourage, and resonate with others who have walked a similar path.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the ability to create. I think it’s a wonderful ex1pereince. to be able to see something and have the ability to recreate it and add your special touch to it. I do not take it for granted.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
In today’s digital age, where social media dominates the marketing landscape, it’s easy to overlook the most powerful tool for attracting new clients: word of mouth. Personal recommendations from satisfied customers are unparalleled in their ability to build trust and credibility.There’s no substitute for firsthand accounts of exceptional service. When someone shares their positive experience with others, it carries significantly more weight than any online review or social media post. This organic referral process not only brings in new clients but also fosters a loyal community of advocates who become ambassadors for your brand.
