About Us

Cleft & Co. began with our daughter, Azalea.

At our 20-week anatomy scan, we learned she would be born with a cleft lip and palate. Until that moment, cleft wasn’t a word that played a role in our lives. Suddenly, it was everywhere.

There were appointments, specialists, new terminology to learn, and countless questions. Like many parents, we turned to the internet looking for information. What we found was something even more valuable: a community.

We found people willing to share their stories, answer questions, celebrate milestones, and remind us that we were not walking this road alone. We quickly learned that a cleft diagnosis affects more than one person, it creates a circle of family, friends, caregivers, advocates, and supporters who walk alongside them.

That idea became the foundation for Cleft & Co.

We created this brand to celebrate the cleft community and the company that surrounds it. Our designs are inspired by connection, belonging, and the belief that cleft is only one part of a much larger story. Whether you were born with a cleft, love someone who was, or simply want to show your support, you have a place here.

Every purchase helps us continue building a community where people feel seen, supported, and understood. As we grow, we are committed to giving back to the cleft community through outreach efforts and future sponsorship initiatives.

Thank you for being part of the company we keep.
