Orion Design, Inc.

We have worked with Orion Design on several projects as a fellow professional. Orion's clients are always happy with their end result and caliber of quality. Elizabeth Rishel and Orion team are talented, professional, and fair.

Elizabeth is amazing! I truly cannot recommend her enough. We just finished a complete renovation and expansion of our kitchen, dining area, entryway, and living area with her, and her help was priceless. My husband and I are both perfectionists and felt completely overwhelmed by all the decisions to be made with such a big project. Having Elizabeth on our team made the whole process infinitely easier as we completely trusted her judgement and guidance. Often it felt like she anticipated exactly what I might want and helped us narrow down to the best choices with ease. The details she was able to add to the project changed it from something that would have been nice to something that looks stunning. And her kitchen design was outstanding. I simply cannot believe how efficiently my new kitchen functions and the creative ideas she had for increasing our storage and workflow. You cannot go wrong with Elizabeth on your team.

Orion Design was recommended to me by our renovation company to collaborate on our whole house renovation. I found Orion Design to be invaluable during our remodel. Elizabeth got to know me and my style and together we came up with a kitchen layout with a gorgeous vintage vibe. She and Kitty had great working relationships with local vendors to source tile, lighting, and sundry furniture. Kitty came up with a gorgeous tile layout for a custom vintage design in the master bath and another in the guest bath. As our project spanned the Covid outbreak, their use of technology/computer based programs like Ivy made it possible to continue our work and avoid delays.

We worked with Elizabeth for our whole house remodel. We have an old house and wanted to keep it looking like a period house, but updated and more functional for our family. Our house is now amazing! It works so much better for our family than it did before the remodel. We added 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to the prior attic, moved the master bathroom to the sleeping porch and made the previous tiny master bath into a nice sized walk in closet. The kitchen also respects the past but now functions as a modern kitchen, and Elizabeth was able to fit in a mudroom also. Our project won awards for best historic renovation as well. Overall great experience, I highly recommend working with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was so great to work with. She took the time to understand the individual needs of our family and made recommendations that really worked for us. We were very happy with her design, which allowed us to enjoy and utilize our older home for our younger family. She redesigned our basement, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, mudroom, and two bathrooms. The design she ultimately put together with our input was something we hadn't even considered as possible in our home. It's great, and we love it!

Orion was such a great experience. Orion's design elements incorporated into our house have worked out wonderfully for us and look amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to use Orion again in the future.

ORION Design was hired to update our home (living room and hearth room/kitchen) We were very impressed at our first meeting with the recommendations made and the time Elizabeth put in to carefully choose the perfect items for our home. What we also appreciated in addition to her professionalism was how she listened to our preferences. We have received many compliments on our ‘rejuvenation’ and we highly recommend ORION.

Elizabeth did a wonderful job in designing our kitchen. She was both professional and understanding of our wishes. She answered all our questions and guided us in our decisions with our budget and desires in mind. i would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.

We just put a major addition on our house. The project included a complete renovation of our kitchen, living room, office and master suite. Elizabeth was instrumental in creating a design to fill the new space. Our new open kitchen and dining room are the highlight of the house. It's all because of Elizabeth's ability to translate our desires into a stunning design. She listened to what we wanted and skillfully transformed it into a wonderful reality.

We have worked with Orion Design on projects for over six years all around the Kansas City metro, everything from kitchens, basements and master suites. We enjoy the punctuality that Elizabeth brings to every project, she is always thorough with the clients and making sure they understand what the project entails and what they can expect as the finish product. The knowledge Elizabeth brings to her clients is top notch!

Our first encounters with Elizabeth at the start of our project were excellent. She came over for a walk through of our space and helped us visualize the pros and cons of different configurations. She was helpful and realistic, and also respectful of our budget. From there, she designed our bathroom and we had an excellent experience as we began the process of refining the look and feel with her. She was open to our ideas and very collaborative. She met us at the various hardware and design stores to pick out our materials and was efficient and articulate in terms of helping us weigh the pros and cons. She did her homework in advance, had options ready for us to review, and helped us make the right decision. She was always very responsive throughout the process, often taking questions and texts to help us make decisions or weigh in on an idea. The end product of our bathroom was beyond our expectations. It's absolutely stunning. We love to go in there and just hang out. It's peaceful, serene, and is way more beautiful than we expect. We appreciate Elizabeth's detail from beginning to end because it ensured our end product was amazing. Thank you Elizabeth!

Elizabeth from Orion Design was a pleasure to work with. When we purchased our farm, we quickly realized that the layout was not going to meet the needs of our family long term. Elizabeth helped us come up with a more open floor plan that will serve our growing family well.
