"I'm in love with creating Harmony and Balance for everyone and all spaces."  ~ r dRA

Rhonna del Rio-Ascolese is a  designer, Feng Shui professional and an Associate member of the AIA (American Institute of Architects).  As a Filipino-American woman who was born into a family of Construction and Architecture: a great-grandfather who owned a construction company, a grandfather who designed and built custom houses, and a civil engineer/architect father; She never felt any pressure to pursue a career in the same field, despite her strong ancestral background.  Unaware of it at the time, Rhonna commenced her career in Architecture the day she went to her father's construction site around the age of five.  As she sat quietly on top of the pile of excavated dirt, she used her barehands to carve out roads and caves and made telephone poles, bridges and stick houses out of fallen tree branches.  By the age of fourteen she spent an entire summer vacation developing her very own first collection  floor plans and elevation perspectives.

Rhonna, received her Bachelor of Architecture degree from California Polytechnic State University Pomona in 2001 as one of the top architecture students in her class. She initiated her career in Architecture working for the world renowned Architect Richard Meier and took part in notable projects such as: San Jose Civic Center, (Upcoming) San Diego Courthouses, UCLA Broad Art Building  and publication drawings for  Crystal Cathedral's -International Center for Possibility Thinking.

Moving forward in 2004, she became in independent design consultant and partnered up  with Architect Gregg Maedo on custom homes and local and international design competitions. 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.   Not long after, her family, friends and clients noticed one amazing result after another and since have regularly requested Rhonna's design and Feng Shui advice.
