Rie Hosokai Kanagawa, Japan "I love my Precision Air. It's easy to use and is extremely fast when inflating and sizing my air-filled balloons. My most efficient work is created when using the Precision Air.” Scroll Down to View Rie's Portfolio Scroll Down to View Rie's Portfolio

I was introduced to balloon decorating in 1998 when I began working for a flower shop.
I enjoyed the industry and art of decorating so much I started my own balloon
business in 2002 called "Daisy Balloon." I found by combining the art of decorating and
twisting the possibilities were endless. Since then my business has expanded and
in 2004 I began competing in competitions.
