Uche Ojunta

The Visionary and Founder: Uche Ojunta 

Known for a touch that can transform any space, Uche Ojunta is the brilliance behind Designs by Oochay, one of the most sought-after event and floral design companies in the Washington, DC Metro area. With an enviable eye for high-end aesthetics, a relentless work ethic and unshakable poise under pressure, her clients trust her again and again with the most important celebrations of their lives, careers and brands—and she never disappoints. In fact, she consistently elevates the bar not only for clients, but for the entire luxury event industry. 

Before setting out to make her mark on the event world, Uche spent years in management consulting, running high-value projects in the corporate sector. Those experiences honed her business intuition, expertise in seamless execution and insatiable appetite for success. But after planning and designing her own wedding that completely wowed her guests, Uche followed a growing passion for petals to a workshop and fell more in love with the idea of building a one-of-a-kind floral design company. Fast forward years later, she is now the CEO of a multiple six-figure event and floral design company that has been recognized as one of the best in the country. 

A natural teacher, Uche is an open book to up-and-coming event designers and creative entrepreneurs. She regularly shares business insight, industry education and actionable advice as a keynote speaker and industry educator.
