Hi! I'm Amy Hadley.
At Hey Now Interiors, we believe that what we surround ourselves with matters; that spaces affect how we feel, how we interact with our loved ones, and what we do with our time.
It’s a lesson founder and lead designer, Amy Hadley, learned halfway across the world.
Her first career was as a reporter and anchor at a local Austin news station. Right in the middle of her stint as a local celebrity, she and her husband took a hiatus to move to Prague, Czech Republic. They lived two years as foreigners, far from home, in one of the most magical cities in the world. And that’s where Amy learned the power of home—of setting up your space with purpose so it serves you, and even helps you get what you want out of life. Their flat in Prague helped them feel rested and relaxed, recharged and energized, motivated and inspired.
Amy founded Hey Now Interiors out of this environmental-behavioral approach to design. She believes a happy home helps you feel and function your best.
So what do you want home to do for you? We’d love to hear!

Meet the Hey Now Team
Amy Hadley, Principal & Founder
I had a lot of fun in my news days. Feature reporting was my jam, and I had great bosses who let me run with that. FLY with that, even! I had a weekly hobby/fitness segment called Fit for Friday, where I tried everything from indoor skiing and skydiving, to cowboy-mounted shooting and the flying trapeze. (I have a pretty good blooper reel to show for it.)
I'm most proud of founding a weekly segment that featured foster children. Forever Families had a 65% adoption success rate, and I am endlessly privileged to still be in touch with several families who adopted some of the kiddos I got to know. I’ve also served as a board member and supported EveryChild, Inc, a nonprofit that finds permanent family homes for children with disabilities who are living in institutions.
After Prague, I anchored for two-and-a-half years and started another weekly segment, House Proud. It let me have one foot in the world of interiors and led to me realizing my dream job. That’s also when my husband and I started a family. Liam is a bouncy seven year old who’s obsessed with climbing and drawing. Cora is a sassy five year old with a sashay for the catwalk and a 'tude to match. Their giggles and coordinating dimples will melt you.

Hi, I'm Dennis and I do my best to keep things running smoothly at Hey Now.
In a past life I studied film, animation, and visual design, but more recently I've been a software engineer and worked in the Austin tech scene. I tend to let curiosity guide my pursuits - I love learning new things and tugging on interesting threads until whatever it is gets unraveled.
In 2019, I joined Amy in the family business. She kept telling great stories about helping people unlock the potential in their homes, and I wanted to be a part of telling those stories too.
When I'm not squinting in front of a computer screen trying to get some project just right, I'm usually chasing our kiddos or talking about Star Wars (or sometimes both).

“Amy was an absolute delight and she “got it” from day one. We had almost no changes to her initial concept board! She completely understood what we were looking to achieve with our backyard, and delivered a comfortable, stylish and timeless design. She also was respectful of budget and responsive to my questions. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
