Update: 2024-08-14

Description

Jim Dove discovered a corner of the industry that played to his strengths when he ended up in kitchen design. After several decades building his business in New Jersey, he relocated his firm to Palm Beach, and quickly realized that he would have to sell his vision to win over local clients and colleagues. In the process, he gained a fresh perspective on what it truly takes to make it in a major luxury market.
