Laurie Hart, Founder & Principal

Laurie began her career in Michigan in automotive design, steadily climbing the corporate ladder for 13 years. When her husband received a job offer in Maryland, they made the tough decision to relocate.

With a husband in homebuilding, she developed a passion for residential design, especially space planning. She started freelancing, creating drawings and planning renovations, which eventually led her to establish Taylor Hart Design, her own boutique firm.

Specializing in creative floorpans and custom finishes, Taylor Hart Design continues to grow and receive awards for thoughtfully curated projects.

Laurie has studied engineering, design, business, and interior design and holds multiple degrees including a masters degree from MIT in Engineering and Business. Since 2015 she has built up her reputable business in the Annapolis area where she lives with her husband, their two boys and her lovable puppy.  

Deanna has been working in the design industry serving Baltimore, Annapolis and DC areas since 2012.  Design has been a part of Deanna’s life from a very young age. Her meticulous nature and her family’s history in the textile industry were the catalyst into design and architecture. She studied architecture at Boston Architectural College and worked on documenting Sacketts Harbor, NY for the National Register of Historic Places under a local architect. 

While specializing in residential design, Deanna has worked in office spaces, schools, and restaurants. She is continually inspired by nature, art, history and the people that bring her into their homes. She has a passion for building a trusting relationship with her clients. Always guided by function, attention for detail, and creativity, 

Deanna lives in Baltimore with her husband and six children. She is also a USA Swim coach for the Coppermine/Meadowbrook Ducks and enjoys volunteering at a local horse farm, caring for and riding horses.

Karin grew up in Northport, New York, and attended Harvard University. After college, she worked as an Associate Actuary at a benefits consulting firm before staying home to raise her kids.

Once her kids were in school, she became a tutor, and briefly taught high school Algebra. In 2017, Karin earned her real estate license and continues to enjoy the profession.

In 2022, Karin joined Taylor Hart Design as a bookkeeper and Project Manager, combining her interests in real estate, home design, and decorating with her strengths in mathematics, organization, and attention to detail.
