From Amsterdam, Holland, she moved to Syracuse University, NY to study Interior Design, Industrial Design, Architecture and Sculpture. After her apprenticeship as assistant Set Decorator in Los Angeles, on a large studio movie, she changed her major and graduated in Set Design for Theatre in 1990.

Gwendolyn then moved to LA, and during the first two years she worked on a number of Roger Corman movies, but kept her day-jobs with Hearst Entertainment and HBO for TV-series and movies of the week. From 1993 till 1997, she worked as an Art Director on major commercials such as Intel, Toyota, Lexus, MCI, BMW, Reebok and Nissan.

In 1997, Gwendolyn returned to Amsterdam, where she worked on the Production Design for the movie Karakter, that won the Oscar for best foreign movie that year. From 1998 till 2004, she was the Production Designer on several TV-series, movies, commercials and theatre in Amsterdam and other European cities.

Having a great passion for traveling and other cultures, she made an extensive trip throughout South America and a few years later Australia, Thailand and Laos.

During these years, Gwendolyn also designed several interiors, commercial and residential projects in Amsterdam and Thailand. In 2003, she was asked to teach Art Direction at the Artemis Academy in Amsterdam for a year.

After a great experience on the movie "Firefighter", shot in Manhattan, Gwendolyn decided to take up residency in New York City in 2004. Where she also has been designing sets for photography, commercials, and recently completed the Production Design for the movie "Order of Redemption", starring Tom Berenger and Busta Ryhmes, directed by Jeff Celentano, filmed in New York City.
