In Rhonda’s 25 years of business development, she has built strong connections with industry peers and is passionate about clients and maximizing opportunities for all. Besides her passion for building relationships, Rhonda’s success is also due to her love of architecture. “I went back to college after working for a management consulting firm to study biology. I realized I was missing a creative component to my life and found architecture. I had my daughter a month after graduating and chose to continue my business development career in the design field.”
A true people person, Rhonda enjoys spending time with her children, listening to live music, traveling, enjoying food and art, and being an active member of her community. She currently participates in a number of businesses and civic groups in Austin, such as the Real Estate Council, Urban Land Institute, United Way, Commercial Real Estate Women, and the Women’s Fund.

Born and raised in Czechoslovakia, I developed a passion for creativity at a young age. I began exploring the combination of spaces, shapes, colors, light, and textures to craft visual storytelling experiences. To create imaginary spaces, I spent countless hours arranging 3D objects on the floor, which enhanced my design sensitivity and analytical thinking. As my curiosity grew, I started to explore my passion for creativity more deeply. I asked myself questions like “Why?” and “How?” to better understand my artistic process and dive deeper into my craft.
In my free time, I like to travel, hike with my dog, attend concerts, visit museums, relax, sit outside, and observe the world go by.

Sports are a significant part of my life, and in my free time, you can find me either watching games on TV or playing league games with friends.

Born and raised in Mumbai, I always dreamed of capturing the world through a lens. As I grew older, I remained passionate about photography and incorporated it into my travels. Although I come from a family of civil engineers, I chose architecture to fulfill my creative aspirations. This journey led to the U.S., a transition I made during the challenging times of Covid. It’s a move that I look back on with immense pride, considering the personal growth I’ve experienced.
With almost 3 years of experience in the design and construction industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work in both India and the US, primarily on residential and commercial projects. Joining Pfluger and transitioning to education projects has been a fascinating experience, offering new design challenges that I’m eager to explore further. I have a keen interest in computational design, and I am now part of the generative design group at Pfluger. My goal is to delve deeper into this field and research how to effectively implement Computational design in a professional setting, aiming to achieve a more efficient workflow. I’m excited about this opportunity to blend creativity with cutting-edge technology

Did you have a hang-out space on your high school or college campus? What was it, and why did you gravitate there?
Whenever I faced a creative block or needed to write a paper, my go-to spot was the lawn near the main mall area on the UT Austin campus. Being outdoors, surrounded by nature, and listening to music was the perfect remedy to clear my mind and regain focus for my work.
