Halaballoo was inspired by the word 'hullabaloo,' but it was adjusted to create a play on words with my name—Hala! The original word "hullabaloo" is a noun and can mean a commotion or fuss. It is also used to express a state of excitement or when there is a lot going on. But I feel like the word can also be used to go beyond boundaries and constraints—so my small business and I can go wherever art and inspiration takes us!
While I've always had a love for design, art and anything creative, it wasn't until August 2020 (during peak COVID quarantine) when I decided to start my small business. I found that the older I got, the less and less opportunities I had to create. Halaballoo acts as my creative outlet, and I'm so grateful for that.
