Hi, I’m Gwendy.

Gwendy Wendell in her office — Let’s work together

I’ve spent more than two decades working across design, front-end engineering, creative direction, and design systems. That path has made me comfortable moving between visual design, code, architecture, documentation, leadership, and mentoring.

My current work centers on large design systems and UI platforms: tokens, components, tooling, and workflows that help teams build with a shared foundation. I like the practical middle space where a system has to serve real products, real brands, and real people trying to get work done.

This page is the human layer behind that work. I live in Germantown, Philadelphia with my teenager, close to a park with miles of trails. It gives me the city I love and the trees I need.

Before this professional life, I toured as a musician in punk and jazz bands. Music still runs through my days, usually through a stack of vinyl records near my desk. Away from work, I spend time with friends and family and advocate for LGBTQIA issues.
