“I love a challenge and I love to solve hard problems.

My name is Ania, I am a resident of Centretown and I’ve had the privilege of owning two businesses in Centretown.

One that’s been around for about 20 years, I’m a jeweler and also have turned my jewelry company into a supply chain slash mineral sourcing.

I source ethical stones, I work with different mining communities and female mining communities around the world to source the minerals and I create now mostly diamond wedding and engagement rings, also for workshops.

And my second project, my second business is a tech company.

I work with venue spaces to really enhance the guest experience of their venue and event offerings through their website or their social media to create a much easier booking process for the venue and for the guest.

If you’re interested in hearing any more about either of those things, I’d love to chat, I love chatting about business and startups and parenthood and technology and mining, you can reach out to me on social media, email, I’m always available and my showroom is right in Centretown.”

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples have made, both in shaping and strengthening this community in particular, and our province and country as a whole.
