Gil Gepte

Hello World, I'm Gil Tañala Gepte

Urban Planner | Systems Thinker | Community Builder

I work at the intersection of civic design, strategic planning, and community impact.

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Gil Oswald Zhaxael Tañala Gepte, or just Gil Gepte (pronounced “heal hepte”). But a lot of my friends call me Gead (pronounced like “Chad,” but with a “J”) — a nickname I picked up growing up in the Philippines. I know, it’s a lot of names… tell me about it, haha!

I'm a Filipino-born planner based in Washington State, with a passion for bringing bold community ideas to life through real-world projects. I focus on long-range planning, data analysis, and engagement strategies that support sustainable growth and equity.

I’ve worked with cities, counties, and tribes, contributing to comprehensive plans, equitable outreach campaigns, and strategies for housing, economic development, transportation, sustainability, and financial growth that drive systemic change.
