Location: Katy, TX
Role Type: Independent Contractor (1099)
Hours: Vary based on event schedule (flexible + event-based)

So… who are we?

Sculpted Air is a luxury balloon styling studio creating elevated, design-forward décor for celebrations big and small. We believe balloons can be thoughtful, intentional, and beautifully executed — and we’re building a team that feels the same way.

This is a hands-on, creative contractor role supporting balloon production and on-site installations across Houston. Work will include studio prep, balloon builds, event installations, and occasional breakdowns.

Important to know: Sculpted Air is currently a home-based studio, located in Katy,TX. Some prep days and pickups will take place from a private residential workspace. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable working in this type of environment and understands that many creative, growing businesses operate this way.

Hours vary week to week depending on event volume and seasonality, making this role a great fit for someone who enjoys flexible, event-based work alongside other commitments.

You’ll work closely with the lead stylist to execute thoughtful, design-forward balloon installations while maintaining the elevated standards Sculpted Air is known for.

What you’ll actually be doing

No fluff — this is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves kind of role. Some days you’ll be building, some days installing, and some days doing a little of both.

You’ll help with:

• Building balloon garlands, arches, bouquets, mosaics, and custom pieces

• Studio prep (inflating, sizing, tying, clustering, organizing — the good stuff)

• On-site installations and occasional breakdowns

• Following design mockups and color palettes (details matter here)

• Loading and unloading décor and supplies

• Keeping things neat, organized, and install-ready

• Showing up professionally and representing the Sculpted Air brand on site

This role is for you if…

• You love working with your hands and seeing a design come together

• You have a good eye for color, balance, and detail

• You’re reliable, punctual, and calm under pressure

• You don’t mind ladders, lifting, or being on your feet

• You’re cool with flexible hours and event-based work

• You want a creative role that fits alongside other gigs or commitments

• You're a fast learner with good common sense and solid communication skills

A few must-knows (the important stuff)

• This is a 1099 independent contractor position

• You’ll take care of your own taxes and insurance

• Hours vary week to week — no guaranteed minimum

• Events may be early mornings, evenings, or weekends

• Reliable transportation is required

• Must be able to lift 65 lbs and use a ladder

Experience?

Balloon experience is great — but not required.
If you’ve worked with:

• Balloons

• Florals

• Crafts

• Art

• Events
  …and you’re detail-oriented and eager to learn, we’d love to see your work.

Pay

• Paid per project or hourly, depending on the event

• Rates typically range from $15–$25/hour or flat project rate, based on experience and scope
