THE WHO
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Burcu
Burcu Ercetin is the founder and principal designer of Design & Curations, an award-winning boutique interior design studio based in Atlanta. Recognized by Modern Luxury Interiors as “Best Transitional Designer, Atlanta,” Burcu is known for creating calm, cozy, and collected homes that balance elevated aesthetics with real-life functionality.
Before founding the studio, Burcu spent over 15 years in marketing and corporate leadership at The Coca-Cola Company, most recently as Global Brand Director for Brand Coca-Cola. Her background in global brand strategy continues to shape her thoughtful, human-centered approach to design and client experience.
Rooted in her Mediterranean heritage, Burcu grew up surrounded by creativity and craftsmanship. Inspired by her father, a civil engineer, and her grandfather, a marble artisan, she developed an early appreciation for renovation, timeless materials, and beautifully lived-in spaces.
Her journey into interiors formally began in 2021 while pregnant with her second child, when she enrolled in the Interior Design Institute. What started with renovating and furnishing the family’s summer home gradually evolved into Design & Curations.
Today, alongside her husband and Operations Partner, Alper, Burcu leads a growing team specializing in renovations, new builds, and thoughtfully curated interiors rooted in warmth, livability, and elevated design.
And yes — it’s pronounced Bur-Ju.
OPERATIONS PARTNER
Alper
Alper Ercetin is the Operations Partner and Co-Owner of Design & Curations, bringing extensive experience in project management, operations, and strategic execution to the studio.
Before joining Design & Curations full-time, he held leadership roles at Apple and internationally recognized creative agencies, managing complex programs and cross-functional teams.
At Design & Curations, Alper oversees onboarding, procurement, implementation, and installations — ensuring every project is executed with clarity, organization, and precision. His operational leadership allows the design team to focus fully on creating elevated, thoughtfully curated spaces.
Originally from the Aegean coast of Türkiye, Alper shares the studio’s appreciation for calm, timeless interiors while bringing his own perspective through bold contrasts and modern details.
His approach is rooted in clear communication, seamless execution, and creating a highly organized experience for every client.

THE WHY
The Heart of Design & Curations Is Rooted in Love
At Design & Curations, our approach to design is deeply rooted in family, connection, and the belief that a beautiful home should reflect the people who live there.
My Mediterranean roots have always shaped the way I see design. Growing up, my father, a civil engineer, often had building plans spread across the table, while my grandfather, a marble artisan, gave me an early appreciation for craftsmanship, natural materials, and timeless design.
Today, those influences continue to shape our work, creating homes that feel elevated yet deeply personal, designed around the stories and everyday lives of our clients.
And behind it all is my own family. My husband and now business partner, Alper, and our two children, Leo and Lara. They were the reason for the start of this adventure; they continue to inspire and ground everything we are building together.
