About Me

I'm Erika and I have always enjoyed creating things and making people happy! My background is in theatre set design, prop construction and teaching so creating fun projects is not new to me!

During the height of the pandemic, our dance studio needed to get creative. When the director asked me to help with decorations for a farm drive-in recital, I was in! Fast forward to another pandemic recital and we again needed to decorate a sparse space. Lots of parents sat and blew up hundreds of balloons! I continued to use balloons for my own event and started exploring what I could do to make them "fancier", I started playing! By Spring of 2022, I began having "official" clients and Poppin Up With Erika was born!
