“Everybody has their own story; everybody has their own journey. - Thalia”

Our journey began in Janel’s backyard in 2014 with an impromptu playdate. We found commonality in our careers as dedicated teachers, first-time moms and our lifestyle choices to try and minimize our ecological footprint.

In 2020, we started YellowBox as a hub to alleviate the stress and anxiety that parents were going through during a time of confusion and chaos of the pandemic. Over the course of a year, YellowBox transformed from a hub of resources for the home into a full service design and organization company that caters to families and care businesses.

We are inspired by your journey and your stories and hope that we can be a part of your family’s growth and transformation.

Meet the Team

  • Anita Delos Reyes

    FOUNDER, Home Organizer

    Born and raised in Alberta, Anita grew up loving the arts and theatre -the dramatic backdrops, the costuming, and the stunning aesthetic spoke to her sense of style. At home, she would often reorganize her stationary to achieve the most efficient and compact way of storing her collections. Needless to say, her organizational skills developed at a young age.

    In the classroom, Anita focuses her teaching on early literacy, numeracy and individual interests. Providing creative, organized spaces in her classroom to engage learning has helped her maintain a calm and thriving classroom. In her home, a 'capsule' approach keeps furniture and 'things' intentional and useful in each space. Creating a warm and welcoming home for her children is at the forefront of her home designs.

    Anita is excited to be bringing her understanding of building joy and independence in young children into your homes. Finding efficient, simple and effective methods to organize your household is her greatest passion!

    Janel was born and raised in rural Alberta. She has enjoyed drawing, painting and designing from a very young age.

    Throughout her career as a classroom teacher, Janel has demonstrated her skill and eye for design, creating nurturing spaces for her students.

    When she became a wife and full-time mother to two littles, she quickly understood the undeniable importance of a well-designed home. With two children and all the ‘stuff’ that came with, Janel started adopting a more minimal lifestyle.
