About Amy Hart

Amy Hart is the Principal Designer and Owner of Dovetail. She lives in historic Scottsville with husband Eric and two big fluffy dogs Starr and Wynn. She serves on the board of the Blue Ridge Mountains Rotary Club and Breaking The Chains Foundation. She is a member of the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association and the VA CEO organization. Amy has also been honored with a position on the Wellborn Cabinet Designer Council and was a judge for the Kitchen & Bath Design News 2020 Design Contest. Amy is also an award-winning filmmaker, actress and singer. Amy Hart is honored to have been named one of America's 50 most Innovative Kitchen & Bath Professionals of 2019, and has been featured in various national Kitchen & Bath Design magazines. After graduating with a B.S. in Interior Design and a wealth of practical experience, she went on to work in commercial architecture, product management, operations management, and then found her way into the Kitchen and Bath specialty where she has thrived since 2002. When designing for interiors, Amy believes one must “listen” to the structure and strive for a meaningful design that feels right in the space and suits her clients’ personal styles. She doesn’t heed many design “rules”, but does believe that a room needs a hero and other characteristics shouldn’t compete for attention. Sometimes the most difficult part of design is to practice restraint. Amy is thrilled to lead an amazing team of professionals who are dedicated to a collaborative approach to design and implementation, dovetailing our clients' conceptual ideas with our design and technical expertise. Another passion of Amy's is acting, singing, theatre and film. Since the age of 8 she has been performing for audiences. She recently completed a short film "The Showroom Effect", and it appeared in several international film festivals.
