Designs by Vonda LLC owner, Shavonda Pompy, says she has always been a trailblazer. She graduated from Horace Mann High School in Gary, Indiana and then attended Purdue University-West Lafayette. Graduating valedictorian from her high school class set the stage for her journey into Business Management, complemented by a Minor in Management Information Systems from Purdue University. Pompy’s pursuit of excellence continued with an MBA from Indiana Wesleyan, specializing in Human Resources. Her professional canvas spans the retail, healthcare, education, and manufacturing industries, weaving a rich tapestry of experiences.
Pompy says her path to entrepreneurship is a combination of “fun, professionalism, and self-made success.” She says that, “with creativity and resilience, one can turn an unknown hobby into a flourishing business.”
The idea for Designs by Vonda LLC began in 2019 when Pompy aspired to create “enchanting” balloon decor for her nephew’s baby shower without breaking the bank. Fueled by determination, she embarked on a journey into the world of balloon artistry.
She honed her skills through countless hours of experimentation and diligent learning through social media and what she deems as “YouTube University.” What followed at the baby shower was not just a visual spectacle but also a flood of inquiries from awe-inspired guests.
This marked a turning point. As the demand for her one-of-a-kind balloon designs surged, Pompy transitioned her passion into an official business. Designs by Vonda LLC was established in 2020 during the pandemic.
As her business has grown, she has gained clients and partners including the Indianapolis Black Chamber of Commerce, SOAR Consulting, and most recently the National Basketball Association. Designs by Vonda LLC earned its XBE certification as a part of the NBA’s 24 in 24 All Star Initiative.
Pompy says “Designs by Vonda LLC stands as a testament to growth, consistency, creativity and innovation.” It offers quality, cost-effective custom balloon décor that adds charm to various events. Each creation embodies the same dedication and craftsmanship that originated from a heartfelt family celebration, and is now a beloved and respected business specializing in crafting balloon magic. Pompy resides in Indianapolis with her husband of almost 7 years, Allah and two of her 7 children.
