Meet Rhonna del Rio, Associate AIA (American Institute of Architects)
leading her design practice based in Los Angeles, California
A Building Designer and artist infusing her work with the same passion, authenticity, and care that define her daily life. Whether you ask her family, friends, colleagues, or clients, they’ll all describe her philosophy the same way — wholehearted and intentional in everything she creates.


​“Find a way.”
This guiding philosophy — passed down from her grandmother, Inay — shapes every aspect of Rhonna del Rio’s creative journey and her vision as a California-based wellness design enthusiast.
Petite in stature but bold in vision, Rhonna approaches every project as a living canvas — transforming ideas into mindful, wellness-driven spaces that reflect her clients’ stories and values. Her designs are known for their authenticity, intention, and human connection, blending artistry with functionality to create environments that inspire calm and balance.
One of the top graduates of Environmental Design: Bachelor of Architecture from California Polytechnic University, Pomona, Rhonna earned prestigious honors including the AIA Design and Academic Award and the University's Concours d’Elegance High Honor Award. She began her career at Meier Partners / STUDIOpractice, the renowned firm behind the Getty Center and other prestigious projects, before teaching at FIDM, where she deepened her philosophy of collaboration and design dialogue.
Today, she leads her own practice and offers wellness design — from custom homes and ADUs to inspiring landscapes and intentional renovations. Her approach integrates light, nature, and well-being to offer spaces that support emotional, mental, and physical harmony.
An Associate Member of the AIA, Rhonna continues to expand her expertise while pursuing California licensure. Collaborating with a network of independent professionals, she ensures every project is as seamless in process as it is meaningful in outcome.
For Rhonna del Rio, wellness design isn’t a trend — it’s a way of life. Her mission is to create spaces that heal, connect, and inspire — proving that when design honors well-being, everything else falls into place.
