“@matzkedesigns has created for me and my family two awesome pieces of art! Going over the design options with them was easy and they understood what we wanted. After the design was approved, it did not take them too long to create our thoughts to reality. They were then shown to me and got my approval before shipping these items across America. Pricing was fare and well worth it!

Thanks again @matzkedesigns”

“I recently had the opportunity to meet up with Aaron and Susi Matzke with Matzke Designs which hand-crafts home décor, custom-branded gifts and unique household items. The concept of their business is a bit hard to put into words, but their pieces are stunning. From custom light fixtures to Central Oregon themed décor, Aaron and Susi use unique materials (new and reclaimed) to weave their own personal design style into beautiful pieces of art. ”

“At Highfields Country Inn and Uxbridge Manor Spa we are trying to build our little bit of country up here in Zephyr, Ontario Canada!!! Our goal has been to find unique furniture and fixtures that speak to our country farm heritage, but have been repurposed for the modern home. Our search for old is new again with the modern technology of the internet landed us on the Matzke Designs website where the perfect piece loomed before us.

Through artistic creativity Aaron designed a very useable and practical light for a dining room table. More importantly however than his beautiful creation was his willingness to work with us in meeting our special needs, always responding in a quick and thorough manner.

I watched in excitement as our contractor unwrapped it when it arrived. It was packaged in three layers of material - arriving in perfect condition, thanks to Aaron’s attention to detail. Aaron is a man of his word in all respects. The product we received from him was quality, built with great care. Well designed and very creative.
We are so pleased to have found Aaron, Matzke Designs, and his beautiful lighting creation.

The Myers Hay Unloader of yesteryear has found a new purpose in life!!! Job well done!!!!! Thank you Aaron for your beautiful designs…..and for caring!!!!! ”

“A sure bet! I love repurposing and renovating. Matzke Designs “nails” it!”

“I really enjoyed working with this designer. Not only did the piece exceed my expectations, but Aaron Matzke was easy to work with, professional and the process was seamless. His original designs are creative and functional, but my favorite part is that all his materials have a history and every piece tells a story. I highly recommend letting the stories of Matzke Design add to the stories of your space. Whether you like something that they have already made or you have something original in mind, this is your place. Can’t wait for the next piece. ”

“We are all familiar with term ‘love at first sight’. Well I had been searching retail stores and the internet for that special one. One night exhausted I gave the net one last try and stumbles upon Esty. I am not a net purchaser and frankly not a trusting enough personality to commit to something sight unseen. But the image that came across was perfect for my needs. So I tracked down the artist and found him (Aaron) to be professional, informative and overboard helpful. I cast aside my apprehension and purchased. It arrived and with Aaron’s careful pack everything arrived in tact. I LOVE IT! IT EVERYTHING I ENVISIONED!
I feel with this purchase I made a friend and it will not be my last purchase. Thank you Matzke Designs”

“I would like to write a five star review for Matzke Designs. They are a unique and much needed artist and decorator to the Bend area and I have purchased several things from them. Their custom state sign is so much more beautiful in person! Their lighting is like no other you will find - industrial/antique/grunge. Their use of old pullies and gears and barnwood is just amazing. And on top of all that - both Aaron and Susi are super people - and reliable!!! A rare find these days.”

“The workmanship and professionalism is unmatched. The care shown in packaging and delivery is just another example of the pride Matzke Designs takes in their work. I’m SO impressed and can’t wait to place my next order. I will be recommending you to all of my friends! Thank you!”

“I am so happy with this order. Thanks for being brilliantly creative. I’m obsessed with succulents so this is a new unique way to display them. Item arrived on time and exactly as it was pictured. Thank you! ”

“Just had a barn wood flag installed on my house in North Ranch...Aaron is a class act, talented and delivers more than he promises”

“Absolutely love the finished project- definitely exceeded my expectations!”

“Great artist and fantastic craftsmanship. Really appreciated the communication during the project and being sure everything was just right. Thanks!”

“Absolutely the best! We originally hired Aaron for a custom fireplace, mantle and entertainment center expansion. It was immediately apparent that his work was second to none. Our family then hired him to conduct a complete home renovation, and again his work was flawless. Just wanted to say thanks again for another AMAZING job!! Your continued dedication to your craft, attention to detail, and honest approach, coupled with your incredible skill-set, has once again left us speechless! In an age of fast cash, and dishonest “contractors”, its an honor to know and hire a true craftsman and good man.”

“Aaron has so many good qualities that I am not sure where to start: he is honest, talented, timely, creative, hardworking, pragmatic, focused and a nice salt of the earth kind of guy. Aaron has put in lights, tiles, toilets, storage racks and custom built and installed a bike rack in my garage. He is the guy to create art and make your house into a showcase home (if that is what you desire). Aaron has become a family friend that I trust will completely with any and all jobs, which he always finishes to the highest standard.
Aaron is the best at what he does due to the combination of his patient and kind personality coupled with experience, skill, and tenacity.”

“Matzke Designs, Just wanted to say thanks for another incredible piece. You have once again over delivered, and we couldn’t be happier. Your attention to detail, quality of design and construction, is second to none. Pictures don’t do your artistry justice, particularly the appreciation of the pieces history, but here is a pic of the presentation to our client, who was equally as excited. Thanks again.”

“I ordered one of the commemorative signs for my husband for Christmas. It was better than I anticipated. My husband loved it. I received it quickly. Thank you!!!”

“We met Aaron at The Three Speckled Hen’s show in Paso this weekend. He is an amazing artist his pieces are unique and high quality. We will be purchasing again soon!”

“Ordered one of the milestone signs for my mom and she absolutely loved it! It is beautiful!! Will definitely be ordering from Matzke Designs again! Aaron was extremely friendly and helpful!”

“The quality and design of the piece was excellent. Great attention detail and wonderful customer service! My son and his wife loved it. ”

“Aaron has worked on several different projects at our previous house that needed a lot of work and I also referred him to several friends who needed stuff done on their homes and apartment buildings. Everything from a complete remodel of master bathrooms and guest homes to installing a tank less water heater system. He does amazing work and is very meticulous in everything he completes. He’s not only capable of doing full remodels including electrical, plumbing and landscape but what I like best is his ability to work alone and his unique sense of design for custom ideas. I would highly recommend Matzke Design for any type of craftsmanship whether it’s for a complete remodel of your home or for just a small crafty piece of artwork for your patio. His work is endless and his ideas are better than looking through a Restoration Hardware catalog. ”

“Aaron is an incredibly talented artist, craftsman and genuinely good guy. Aaron did a major remodel of our very large fireplace and his patience, attention to detail, craftsmanship and desire to exceed the expectations of his clients is unmatched. I have done a significant amount of remodeling on multiple homes and can confidently say that Aaron is a rare and unique find. He will actually listen to you and you will end up with something that exceeds what you were hoping for. His high standards and attention to detail are evident in everything he does. Working with Aaron has taught me so much about what to look for and expect out of craftsman. We are just about to purchase a new home and know that Aaron will be the first person we look to for help and advice!”
