TRAINERS
Lia (Garyfallia) Panagiotari
Ever since I was a kid I loved arts and decor, so I studied interior design and management.
In 2008, I decided to combine my love for art with balloon creations.
In one part, I needed to offer joy. On the other, I had to develop myself professionally. I opened my first shop in Athens of Greece, my native and my beloved city. Every time I was feeling insecure and stressful as a newborn businesswoman, I looked in my creations, and my soul was filled with power to go on.
In 2010, I became a CBA in order to improve and confirm my knowledge in balloon art . Every year ever since, I attend seminars and conventions because knowledge never ends…. For the last 2 years, me and my husband Ilias are the owners of „Balloons Chalkida” in a city outside Athens but close enough. We get inspired from people, the occasions, from every single moment!
Our imagination never gets tired of creating…

Authorized Trainer by the National Qualifications Authority (ANC), a specialized body under the coordination of the Ministry of Education and Research.
With 17 years of experience in balloon decorations, I create, invent, get inspired, experiment, and push my limits every day when it comes to balloons.
I participate in both International Training Courses and high-profile events in the balloon industry, such as the 120th-anniversary celebration of the Italian balloon factory Rocca Fun Factory in July 2022.
Since 2019, I’ve been posting DIY (Do It Yourself) balloon decoration videos and many Tips & Tricks on my YouTube channel. The channel is translated into English, making it accessible to balloon decorators worldwide (City Events and balloons).

This is my truth
I am a wife, a mom and a photographer. I love nature and all this beauty around, that God gave us. I am blessed and i know where my place is. I know all i am, is God’s gift to me.
This is my truth!

I love expansive balloon decorations, I enjoy incorporating flowers or other elements into balloon decor, I’m open to thematic challenges, but monochromatic decorations also excite me just as much. I am convinced that continuous learning and improvement are at the core of being a Balloon Artist, and that balloon decorations can integrate perfectly into any joyful event in our lives.
In addition to balloons, I’m passionate about mountain hiking and camping, cooking and baking (where I also took a qualification course), and writing. The stories of my mountain hikes take the form of tour journals on my blog and sometimes in brief radio appearances.
The phrase that inspires me: ‘If you change nothing, nothing will change!
Daniela Cristea
A valuable and positive gesture! Balloons have this gift… to induce a feeling of well-being regardless of age. I chose to be a Balloon Artist for the effect they have on people. Imagination is the limit!
