About Me… 

Renee Amato earned an MBA from California State University Dominguez Hills. She worked  as a Chief Marketing Officer at a large California Financial Institution. She is also a graduate of Asheford Antiques Institute and The Interior Design Institute, where she studied architectural history, design styles, space planning, interior finishes, textiles and furnishings.

Her 30-year background in advertising and marketing enabled her to develop excellent client service and project management skills. These skills combined with her education and experience with Antiques and  Interior Design, bring a unique skillset to Black Dog Interiors.

Renee owns and has renovated the Historic Washoe Brewery Building in Anaconda Montana. She also owns Black Dog Antiques.

Renee has always had interest in Interior Design and has personally designed numerous homes, cabins and commercial buildings  between California & Montana. She loves the mountains and the esthetic of Montana interior design -the use of natural elements and fibers to blend with nature!  

What drives Renee is learning the client’s personalities and needs and bringing that out in a home to reflect the family that will be living in it.
