Dear friends, clients, and supporters,
This past week was one for the books. After pouring my heart into our studio, being named one of Modern Luxury Magazine's “Designers to Watch” in Atlanta felt like the most beautiful affirmation—especially at the end of a week spent fully immersed in the studio doing what I love.
What made it even more special? So many of you voted for us. Some of you even voted every single day—you know who you are. That kind of love and encouragement doesn’t go unnoticed, and I carry it with me every step forward.
And now, I’m sharing something deeply personal: I’ve taken a huge leap of faith… and I’m officially going all in on Design & Curations. Some of you may have known, or have seen it in my Instagram post this week.
For those who’ve been following along, you know that I come from a corporate marketing background—and for the past several years, I’ve been working at Coca-Cola while simultaneously building this studio from the ground up.
Leaving a dream job to pursue another wasn’t easy. But over the past three years, this dream has grown into something real, something purposeful. Design & Curations has become more than a business. It’s become a calling. A space where I get to design homes filled with intention, beauty, and life
Thanks to your belief in us—your trust, your votes, your kind messages—this moment became possible. You’ve helped turn a vision into reality, and I’m beyond grateful.
There’s still so much I hope to build.
From expanding our hybrid design services to growing our Room-by-Room Model, and continuing to nurture our curated online shop, maybe a YouTube channel (who knows :) )- this next chapter is just beginning.
Yes, that photo we shared on Instagram was completely unplanned. A Coke in hand (naturally), caught by my talented friend @hannah.forsberg—marking the moment where past and future meet.
Thank you, truly, for being part of this journey.
Here’s to designing beautiful spaces and even more meaningful lives—together.
With love and gratitude,
xo,
BurJu
