She is the founding principal of  Wendy Gilmartin Architecture (WGA)  and was formerly the Los Angeles partner for Frohn&Rojas who also have offices in Berlin and Santiago de Chile. She has helped realize notable regional public and private design projects such as the 2023 AIA Residential design award winning Cloudrock residence, the Nobu and Nobu hotel in Malibu, CA and an artist’s retirement community at the Salton Sea, CA. As a journalist and author with the LAWeekly, The Los Angeles Times, Architect’s Newspaper, Landscape Architecture Magazine, NPR, BOOM: A Journal of California and KCET’s Artbound, she has drawn attention to the architectural landscape of southern California.

A natural leader, Wendy’s ability to foster relationships and gain the trust of clients and team members has been instrumental in the success of many high-profile projects. Passionate about mentoring young designers, Wendy does so at WGA as well as through design education, including teaching at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona.
