She initiated her career in Architecture working for the world renowned Architect Richard Meier.   Moving forward in 2004, she discovered Feng Shui through books and her desire to improve her environment and well-being became the stepping stone for her desire to merge her design career with  Feng Shui philosophy.   Prior to becoming a Certified Feng Shui Professional,  Rhonna became an Adjunct Professor at FIDM in 2006 (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandize) under the Interior Design Department.   Today, Rhonna works on various design projects and continue to learn the Art and Philosophy of Feng Shui. As a designer, Rhonna creates  Harmony and Balance in all spaces using her education background in architecture , space planning and Feng Shui principle. She looks for perceptive, poetic, and innovative solutions; her goal is not to be different but to introduce her work as timeless. She often speaks of her design through experiential manner from the point of view of the user.
