ST. LOUIS – St. Louisan Wendy Gray, founder of Gray Design Group, has been named among the 2009 Most Influential Business Women by the St. Louis Business Journal.

This annual award recognizes remarkable women who excel in careers in the business arena and illustrate the breadth of talent and achievement among St. Louis-area women. She was honored at an Aug. 7 luncheon event at the Renaissance Grand Hotel.

‘I am both honored and humbled to be recognized among such an outstanding group of accomplished women,’ said Gray. ‘The business of design has many implications and applications that allow us to make a positive difference in the built environment and quality of life. Over the last 28 years our clients have become not only repeat customers, but lifelong friends. How fortunate to be able to do what I most love on a daily basis!’
