Known for transforming spaces into unforgettable experiences, Uche Ojunta is the creative force behind Designs by Oochay, a nationally recognized event and floral design studio serving Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and clients nationwide.

​

Uche’s love for celebration began long before she picked up a flower or sketchbook. Raised in a Nigerian household between Nigeria and Georgia, she grew up believing that a celebration is never simply a party, it’s how families say you matter to us and how communities come together. That blend of Nigerian tradition and Southern hospitality continues to shape her approach to every event: creating spaces where people feel deeply and unmistakably welcomed.

​

That philosophy became personal at age ten, when her parents created an unforgettable birthday celebration in her honor, one so thoughtfully designed that guests still remember it decades later. Uche never forgot the feeling of walking into a room created entirely around her. Today, that same feeling is at the heart of what she creates for her clients.

​

Although creativity came naturally, it took the encouragement of close friends, who watched her effortlessly transform gatherings and details, to convince Uche that her talent could become something more. That encouragement became the spark for Designs by Oochay.

​

Her path to design, however, began in science. After studying Pre-Pharmacy and Chemistry at Kennesaw State University, Uche earned her degree in Biotechnology from the University of Maryland. She later built a career in corporate project management, developing the precision, discipline, and ability to manage complex timelines and countless moving pieces that would ultimately become the operational backbone of her design career.

​

Today, she leads a talented team creating elevated weddings, corporate events, brand experiences, and milestone celebrations. Her work combines sophisticated design with thoughtful storytelling and meticulous execution; always with the goal of creating an experience that feels as meaningful as it looks.

​

Beyond the studio, Uche is an industry educator and speaker who shares business insight and practical guidance with designers and creative entrepreneurs. And outside of her work, she is a proud mother of two, her greatest joy and a constant reminder of why making people feel celebrated will always matter.
