Have you inquired locally?

I haven’t inquired yet

I’m still looking out for who to do it for me

Have you tried inquiring at a local home inmprovement store. Local, not chain. I have found they usually know who is reliable and does good work.

You’ve got less than a 1% chance of finding a suitable contractor on this forum. You may not realize it’s a worldwide forum. I’m in Missouri, USA, and if you live in, say, Ontario or Copenhagen or Miami, I’m not going to be able to help you.

I think "communicates clearly" is going to be your biggest hurdle.

Do an internet search of "reliable contractor near [your project's City]"

Ask around your town or city for recommendations. If any neighbors are doing renovation projects, start with them.

Try your local community Facebook pages or Nextdoor. Talk to your neighbors.

The scope of your project points toward a designer to develop plans based on your preferred style. A contractor is unlikely to be able to do that.

If you want referrals ... don't you think your location would make a difference?

What is the point of giving you the name of a contractor in Los Angeles if you live in San Francisco or another state.

You used the old paper yellow pages, right? And still did your due diligence with checking references, licenses, and insurance. Nothing has changed on that front, except the yellow pages. That is now Google, and youre looking for ”kitchen and bath designers”. ones who you pay for design services, not cabinet srllers. You can also check out the NKBA, NARI, and CAPS professional directories. And still do your due dilligence.
