  • Gwen's first published work was a detailed home manual. During the process of writing, she gained extensive knowledge about caring for home furnishings and high-end appliances.
  • Her interest in history and hands-on experience in the construction industry melds with her enthusiasm for architecture and interior design.
  • In her free time, she enjoys upcycling thrifted items and creating her own DIY decor. Over the past year, she also built a tiny home (with help) from scratch.

Experience

Gwen began her freelance journey after graduating from college in 2019. She studied history in school but diverged from that path to pursue technical writing and marketing for a luxury home-building company. Realizing that writing was her passion, she juggled multiple writing contracts for businesses before joining Static Media in 2022. She primarily contributes home improvement-related content, and her favorite articles to write often explore budget-friendly decorating ideas, DIYs, and renovation advice.

Education

Gwen earned a bachelor's degree in history with a minor in anthropology from the University of Central Florida.
