    Alyssa Wray

    For many of us, making a house a home is difficult. It takes time, financial resources, and the decisions can be overwhelming (decision fatigue, hello!). As the founder & owner of Wray Design Co., Alyssa recognizes those difficulties and is here to help address them.

    With degrees in accounting and finance, Alyssa is extremely budget conscious. She’s also a firm believer that your home is an investment. She takes an unconventional approach to design, focusing on budget and design equally. Alyssa is also an advocate for re-design: blending the existing with the new.

    When not designing or decorating, you can likely find Alyssa renovating her own home. Or relaxing in sweatpants, while eating nachos, and enjoying a glass of champagne.

    Andrea Hipsher

    Andrea joined Wray Design Co. in 2025.

    Prior to that, she built a career in accounting and finance, working across a variety of industries and companies—from large corporations to small, single-owner businesses. Though she’s always had an interest in design, her interest has grown into a true passion over the last decade. Andrea previously worked at a local design firm, and after a six-month sabbatical, she was eager to return to the industry and joined the Wray Design Co. team. She brings a passion for approachable design to the team and loves the opportunity to help make our client’s homes beautiful. 

    Andrea is married with two children and enjoys skiing, long walks, coffee, and a good glass of wine.

    Kaitlyn Gustafson

    Kaitlyn is the owner of Expedition by Design which is a Twin Cities based agency serving interior design studios. After working for a local and well known fast paced interior design studio, in 2023, Kaitlyn decided to leap into entrepreneurship. Kaitlyn recognized the expediting and project management gap, specifically for small design studios (like us!) who don’t usually have the resources for a full time expeditor.

    Kaitlyn handles all things procurement, so if you work with us on a remodel or full service project, you’ll likely be hearing from her!

    Kaitlyn was raised in Minnesota and currently resides in the Twin Cities area with her husband and two dogs.
