Rachel was very easy to work with and the piece came out beautifully. I wish I had another dining room so Rachel can design another piece for me! I highly recommend Rachel. **★★★★★ — Christie Hausmann Design, May 2015** > i've worked with rachel for many years and am always inspired by her imagination and creativity. most recently, i was working with a client on a remodel and they wanted a statement piece of lighting. i introduced them to rachel and she created one of my favorite pieces yet (the pivoting branch light). it fits in perfectly with the house and the client's aesthetic, and is a beautiful addition to their new space. > > rachel always comes up with incredible, unique ideas. she is able to take ordinary objects and turn them into works of art. i would highly recommend her if you are looking for a one-of-kind piece of lighting. **★★★★★ — ksieverson, April 2015** > Rachel was a delight to work with. Her creativity and design skills were evident from initial consultation and concept sketches through the finished assembly and installation of our light fixture. She was very easy to work with and listened to our needs. When we couldn't decide on a fixed location for the piece, she created a pivoting assembly that can accommodate multiple furniture layouts. The finished product is striking and fits the space perfectly. I would highly recommend her skills and services to anyone wishing for a unique and beautiful statement fixture. **★★★★★ — bogomilsky, Jan. 2015** > Rachel is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. She takes pride in understanding the scope of the project and the client's vision. From start to finish, Rachel takes her design background and expertise to ensure that the end product is absolutely fabulous. **★★★★★ — Sara Hapner, Jan. 2015** > I bought a painting from Rachel that has gone through three different homes. Her art work is extremely soothing and exquisite. Every wall I have placed this painting in has looked incredible. > > Rachel also decorated a room at hotel paradox for my son's bar mitzvah. She took a blank slate and made it come alive with various materials to create and atmosphere that was exactly what I had wanted for our special event. She is truly creative and imaginative. Her calm way and visionary approach were fantastic! **★★★★★ — jksc01, Jan. 2015** > Rachel Conable has an amazing talent for creating beautiful and unique light fixtures and her work ethic is top notch. Her creations combine natural elements with an industrial flair resulting in an elegant piece. Rachel has created chandeliers, sconces and light features for my events for many years. Her work has always been a clever combination of materials and concepts that highlight my themes and compliment our decor. These pieces always wind up being the talk of the event. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel. ## Selected projects - [Harbor Level Light](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harbor-level-light-pj-vj~6129994) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This custom chandelier hangs above a desk in an office with a view!
