What’s this blog is about?

Hello. 👋
This blog is built around a simple idea:
What if cities could actually make daily life easier?

Less stress.
More joy.
More room to live and thrive.

A place where you and your kids can grow old with ease.

That future isn’t a fantasy.
What’s missing is inspiration for what can be done.
To see what becomes possible when cities are designed to make life easier.
And having the courage to challenge what we, sadly, have learned to accept as normal.

This is your invitation to explore how cities shape daily life. And what becomes possible when cities are designed to make life easier.

Meet the author, Kim Vallée

After a successful career in UX design and product strategy, I took an unexpected turn and became a blogger. And I loved it!

Back in 2007, I didn’t expect the impact At Home with Kim Vallée, my stylish living and entertaining-at-home blog, would have on my life. For seven years, I lived and breathed the world of publishing, media relations, and marketing. I collaborated with major brands and agencies, led consulting projects, wrote columns for traditional media, and was often interviewed.

Over time, my focus shifted from life inside our homes to life in public space. Today, I apply everything I learned in UX, business, and publishing to examine how cities shape they way we live, connect and thrive.
