SPEAKERS
Hanna Erci is a Co-Owner and Operator of Santorini Design, a growing Canadian jewelry brand focused on high-performing retail locations, strong brand identity, and omnichannel growth.
Fluent in English, French, Arabic, and Kurdish, Hanna brings an international perspective to sourcing, negotiations, and brand expansion. She began designing jewelry at the age of 13, and one of her original collections continues to be a top-selling line today—shaping her long-term, product-first approach to retail.
As a co-owner, Hanna plays an active role in the day-to-day and strategic operations of Santorini Design. Her responsibilities span retail expansion and leasing strategy, store concepts and visual merchandising, purchasing and international sourcing, brand marketing, social media growth, and e-commerce operations. She has travelled internationally, including to East Asia, to purchase inventory directly following detailed trend and market analysis, and continues to manage global purchasing remotely through established supplier relationships.
In addition to Santorini Design, Hanna has co-founded Werith, a fine-jewelry company specializing in premium materials including 14K–22K solid gold, sterling silver, and gold vermeil.
Hanna is focused on building long-term relationships with landlords and leasing teams who value strong operators, thoughtful store design, and brands that drive foot traffic and long-term tenancy success. She is actively expanding her network across Canada and internationally in support of continued retail growth.
