Iterate to Innovate: Balancing Risk and Reward with Tanya Mykhaylova – Honest Ecommerce Ep. 287 [Video]

Tanya Mykhaylova is the Director of E-Commerce at Casa Di Luce, a premier designer lighting and home decor brand based in Toronto, Canada.

For two decades, Casa Di Luce has been a cornerstone of Toronto’s design scene, embodying family values and entrepreneurial spirit. Operating multiple showrooms throughout the city, the company eventually established a firm presence in Toronto’s design district by inaugurating a spacious flagship showroom.

Five years ago, Tanya made the decision to leave her corporate consulting job and join Casa Di Luce full-time, driven by a desire to leverage her expertise and propel her family business into the digital age. Tanya has adeptly stayed ahead of the latest e-commerce trends, guiding Casa Di Luce through the dynamic online marketplace to sustain growth and expansion.

Today, the company carries over 200 brands and ships to customers across North America.
