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.

THE WHY

It Started With My Own Home.

There was a point in my life when I realized something had shifted. I had changed, but my surroundings hadn't changed with me.

I began rethinking my own home. Decluttering, refreshing, and creating spaces that better reflected who I was becoming and what I needed in that chapter of my life.

And something unexpected happened. As my surroundings changed, so did the way I felt within them.

That experience became one of the beliefs at the heart of Design & Curations today: we change, and our homes should evolve with us.

My Mediterranean roots have also 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 come together in our work—creating homes that feel elevated yet deeply personal, designed around the lives, stories, and changing needs of the people who live in them.

And behind it all is my own family—my husband and now business partner, Alper, and our two children, Leo and Lara. They were part of the reason this adventure began, and they continue to inspire and ground everything we're building together.
