Hello, I'm Rhonda Felicity
As a child of immigrants, I was steeped in the ideas of "re-use" and "re-purpose" from the beginning - whether exploring the bounty of Pasadena thrift shops or sewing my own clothes in middle and high school. As a result I start each project with the question: “How little do we have to do to solve the problem?”
With over 15 years of residential and commercial design experience, I will help you articulate and realize your design while keeping you on schedule and on budget.
To Help You Express Yourself Through Your Living Space
MY MISSION
01
I WORK WITH WHAT YOU LOVE
My goal is to ensure that you connect with your space in a way that is meaningful, unique to you, and honors your history and heritage. I like to describe this as design harmony - folding together the old and the new in order to create something at once familiar, yet fresh. Because good design may impress others, but great design expresses who you are, and what you value.

I GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS
Change can be daunting, and infinite design choices on social media and the internet are overwhelming. As your design coach, I will help you curate your options, solve your design problems, and procure your selections.
COMMUNICATION

I SEE DESIGN AS A TEAM SPORT
I see design as a co-collaboration with my clients and their project consultants (architects, contractors etc.). Let’s have some fun with the process!
RELATIONSHIPS
The issue many clients have with home designers is poor onboarding, staying on schedule and staying within budget.
MY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
A well-organized onboarding process lays the groundwork for staying on track, hitting budget targets, and meeting deadlines, ensuring that everyone involved is on the same page. While many entrepreneurial designers tend to struggle with the latter, commercial designers are required to have this proficiency.
Good onboarding is all about creating a warm and inviting experience that sets the stage for a successful collaboration. It starts with genuine empathy, actively listening to your aspirations and concerns to understand your unique vision. But onboarding doesn't stop there.
MY EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND
Achieved design certificate at UCLA Extension (2 year degree) and completed my undergraduate at Academy of Art University.
