Anet Abnous is an entrepreneur and ecosystem builder dedicated to supporting creative entrepreneurship and cultural commerce. She is the founder and CEO of Anet’s Collection, a heritage-inspired jewelry and accessories brand launched over a decade ago that blends art, history, and craftsmanship. The brand’s designs draw inspiration from Armenian manuscripts, cultural motifs, and historical symbolism, and have been carried in boutique retailers and museum gift shops. Recognizing the challenges independent designers face in reaching broader markets, Anet founded Lusanet Collective, a multi-brand retail and creative hub representing more than 40 local and international designers and artisans. Located in Downtown Burbank, California, the collective provides a platform where emerging brands can showcase and sell unique handcrafted products while gaining visibility in a curated retail environment. To further expand this mission, she launched Lusanet Voices, a nonprofit initiative focused on empowering entrepreneurs—particularly women-led businesses—through educational programs, networking events, exhibitions, and business development opportunities. Through these initiatives, Anet has built a platform that connects designers, entrepreneurs, and communities while supporting economic growth within the creative sector. Her work focuses on the intersection of entrepreneurship, cultural storytelling, retail innovation, and community development, helping independent creators transform artistic vision into sustainable businesses. With more than a decade of leadership experience, she brings expertise in brand development, consumer markets, partnerships, platform building, and community engagement.
