July
Founder & Owner
"I’m July, founder of Belan.J and Active Baby, and a mom of three daughters growing up in North Vancouver. I opened Active Baby in 2009 when my oldest daughter was 18 months, and then I created Belan.J in 2021 after 12 years of retail learning. I love creating beautiful, comfortable things for families and building brands that feel warm and meaningful. When I’m not working, I enjoy long walks, thoughtful conversations, and dreaming up new ideas. Nature, motherhood, and everyday life with children inspire much of what I do."
Zsuzsa
