Today we’d like to introduce you to Kathleen Fomunung.
Hi Kathleen, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Absolutely! My journey with Cloud Nine Creators started from a genuine love for celebrating life’s special moments and making people smile. I’ve always been drawn to design and creativity, and over time, I realized how much joy I found in transforming ordinary spaces into something magical — whether it was for birthdays, weddings, or corporate events.
What began as a small passion project creating balloon decorations for family and friends quickly grew through word of mouth. People loved the attention to detail, the quality, and the way each setup felt truly personalized. From there, I decided to turn that passion into a business — and Cloud Nine Creators was born.
Today, we’re proud to serve the Dallas–Fort Worth area, bringing our clients’ visions to life through custom balloon designs, luxury backdrops, and statement pieces for all kinds of celebrations. Every event reminds me why I started — to help people celebrate beautifully and make lasting memories surrounded by joy and creativity.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t always been a smooth road — like many small business owners, I’ve faced my share of challenges along the way. In the beginning, it was a lot of trial and error — learning how to price my services fairly, source quality materials, and manage multiple events while maintaining the level of creativity and attention to detail I pride myself on.
Another big challenge was balancing everything as a one-woman show — from design and setup to marketing, communication, and logistics. There were moments of doubt, especially during slow seasons or when unexpected issues came up right before an event.
But every challenge taught me something valuable — how to stay adaptable, resourceful, and focused on delivering the best possible experience for my clients. Looking back, those struggles helped shape Cloud Nine Creators into what it is today — a business built on perseverance, passion, and genuine care for every detail.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
At Cloud Nine Creators, I specialize in luxury balloon décor and event design that transforms ordinary spaces into stunning, memorable experiences. My work ranges from elegant balloon installations and custom backdrops to creative themed setups for birthdays, weddings, corporate events, and more.
What I’m most proud of is how each design reflects my client’s unique vision. I take the time to really understand what they want — whether it’s a romantic, whimsical, or bold look — and bring that vision to life with creativity and precision. My goal is always to create that “wow” moment when guests walk in and feel the energy of the space.
What sets Cloud Nine Creators apart is our attention to detail and personal touch. Every balloon arrangement, color palette, and prop is carefully chosen to elevate the atmosphere. I don’t just create décor — I create experiences that celebrate life’s special moments in a way that feels effortless and unforgettable.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Something that often surprises people is that I’m actually very shy and analytical by nature — not what you might expect from someone who works in a creative, client-facing industry! I’ve always been more of an observer, someone who notices small details and loves to plan things carefully.
But that side of me actually complements my creative eye. I see design as a form of quiet expression — a way to communicate beauty, joy, and emotion without needing many words. Every setup I create is like telling a story through color, balance, and texture.
So while I may be reserved in person, my creativity speaks loudly through my work. It’s my favorite way to connect with people and make them feel something special through the art of celebration.
