Hey Love, I'm Rajleen!
Founder & CEO, It's Poppin'
In 2018, while pursuing a criminology degree and planning to become a police officer, life shifted dramatically after a car accident and job loss. My cousin, an entrepreneur, suggested I try working with balloons for his party tents.
What started as a laugh turned into a passion after I tried making balloon garlands from a YouTube video. That’s how "It’s Poppin’" was born! Now, I bring unique themes to life, with every event becoming a one-of-a-kind creation. We’re not just about balloons; we’re about making unforgettable celebrations that turn your vision into a reality.
