About Me
I am Jimmy Picos, Owner and CEO of Balloon Experts. My passion for balloons began at age 8, and by 15, I was already a professional balloon artist. At 18, I founded Balloon Experts in Florida, specializing in balloon twisting, face painting, and unforgettable event experiences. In 2010, I expanded into full-service entertainment with Super Duper Events. As a top instructor for FABA TV, I love sharing my expertise and bringing joy to every event I’m part of.
With a background in graphic design, marketing, sales, and business management, I’ve built a career on creativity and leadership. After graduating from Miami Lakes Educational Center and completing vocational training in Commercial Arts, I worked in design and marketing before channeling my skills into entrepreneurship. From managing teams to mentoring others, I thrive on helping people succeed in life and business while staying committed to excellence.
My mission is to inspire and uplift through artistry and mentorship. Fluent in English and Spanish, I bring energy, vision, and passion to everything I do. Whether it’s creating magical moments or helping you achieve your goals, I’m here to make an impact. Let’s work together to make your event or aspirations truly unforgettable!

Balloon Artistry & Entertainment
“How I Bring Joy to Life’s Moments”
For as long as I can remember, balloons have been more than just party decorations—they’ve been my canvas, my joy, and my way of bringing smiles to people’s faces. What started at age 8 has grown into a lifelong passion for creating unforgettable moments through balloon twisting, face painting, and larger-than-life sculptures.
As the founder of Balloon Experts (since 2010), I bring magic into every event—whether it’s a child’s birthday, a corporate celebration, or a community gathering. My goal isn’t just to entertain—it’s to make every guest feel like part of something special.
Because when colors rise into the air, so do hearts.
Marketing, Sales, & Business Solutions
“Turning Ideas Into Brands That Shine”
I believe great businesses don’t just happen—they’re built with strategy, heart, and creativity. With roots in graphic design and marketing from my time at JT Marketing (2007–2009), I help brands come to life through compelling visuals, smart messaging, and strategic planning.
From designing eye-catching flyers to coaching entrepreneurs on branding and leadership, I help turn ideas into thriving ventures. Whether it’s shaping public perception or building systems that keep businesses running smoothly, I partner with visionaries who want to make an impact.
Together, we don’t just grow businesses—we build legacies.
Event Planning & Coordination
“Creating Experiences That Stay With You”
Every great event starts with a dream—and I’m here to make that dream real. As a former manager at Blackbox Magic (2010–2011), I learned how important it is to not only plan events, but to truly craft experiences . From small family gatherings to large-scale productions, I take care of every detail so you can enjoy the moment.
Coordinating teams, managing timelines, and curating entertainment are all part of what I do—but what I love most is seeing the look on someone’s face when everything comes together perfectly.
Your event deserves more than just planning—it deserves storytelling.
Life Coaching & Mentorship
“Helping People Grow Beyond Limitations”
Beyond balloons and business, one of my greatest joys is helping others unlock their potential. Through life coaching and mentorship, I guide people toward growth—in mindset, in goals, and in self-belief.
My own journey hasn’t been without challenges. Overcoming addiction and embracing fitness transformed my life, and now I help others find their own strength and clarity. Whether it’s developing resilience, setting meaningful goals, or finding purpose, I walk alongside you with encouragement, honesty, and hope.
Because success isn’t just about achieving—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself.
Creative Web Design & Graphic Arts
“Where Vision Meets Visual Impact”
Design has always been a big part of who I am. From my early training at Miami Lakes Educational Center to hands-on experience in commercial arts, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for visual storytelling. Whether it’s crafting a website, designing a logo, or producing marketing materials, I see every project as a chance to bring a brand to life.
In today’s world, your online presence says a lot about who you are. Let me help you tell your story beautifully.
Because style meets substance when creativity leads the way.
