Kim is a lifestyle and entertaining expert whose luxury table décor is available at fine retailers across the globe. She began her career designing dresses and beaded evening gowns, but always loved tabletop. During frequent business trips to China in the 1990s, she admired the vivid textiles on display in the bazaars and open-air markets. A simple purchase of an inexpensive pocket square—completely hand-embroidered—sparked the idea that the intricate workmanship could translate to table décor.
