We've worked with them for many projects now and am always blown away by their ability to bring our products to life.

Dean Bloembergen

Everyone that's seen has said that it's hands down the best biotech website they've seen

We gave them an impossible deadline, and even with that, they gave us more optionality, design iterations and degrees of freedom than could be asked for!

Bryan Johnson

Very few firms can make products look beautiful and work well...

Orizon has the creative depth to go from an idea to a fully packaged and branded deliverable.

David Kalt

Despite the high expectations from our end, they always over-delivered… which is a testament to Orizon’s creative prowess and ability to think outside the box.

A wonderful app (designed by Orizon) that helps you have more meaningful conversations.

Oprah Winfrey

Extremely impressive.

‍Best I’ve seen in class.

FOLIO XXIV Team

“I love working with you guys. Everyone that sees Root’s UI is like that is the best looking UI I’ve ever seen in my life.”

I can’t believe you guys did all this in a week.

Kyle Jekielek

"We showed the designs to key customers and they absolutely loved it. Customers of seven, eight years were smiling ear to ear."

We had many detailed requirements for the new Telus Sky building which Orizon were able to easily meet.

Colleen Doll

"We'd been on a call just two days before. The amount of work done in between speaks for itself."

+30% signups and almost

+50% cart conversion after the redesign.

Frequently 
asked
Questions

Why consider Orizon as an alternative to MetaLab?

Orizon is a smaller, senior-led studio for teams that want exceptional design with a close, hands-on partnership. Our team’s experience includes Apple and Tinder, alongside Orizon projects for companies such as TELUS and Vivodyne. We bring that experience to ambitious products, websites and brands, with a flexible engagement built around your priorities.

Can a smaller studio handle a complex project?

Yes. Our work includes TELUS Sky’s wayfinding experience and Corsearch’s brand, design system, product and website work. We bring together the disciplines your project needs, from UX strategy and product design to branding, motion and 3D. A smaller studio means a closer working relationship, not a smaller ambition.

How does Orizon’s pricing compare with MetaLab?

Orizon offers a more accessible route to high-end design through a smaller studio model and focused engagements. We shape the team and scope around your priorities, so you can start with the work you need now and expand the partnership as your plans grow. Our pricing page explains the available engagement options.

How quickly can we get started and see progress?

Weekly sprints typically begin within 1–5 business days, depending on availability. You review progress each week, with focused projects delivered over a matter of weeks. We agree on the scope and milestones before kickoff, so you know what to expect and when.
