About me and my blog

Hello. 👋
I’m Kim Vallee!

I’ve spent my career where tech, design, and communication meet. After years building digital products as an entrepreneur, UX designer, and product leader, I took an unexpected turn and became a blogger. And I loved it!

With an education in interior design, I’ve always been fascinated by how our homes shape our daily lives. Over time, my lens widened. I realized that our neighbourhoods, streets, and cities shape us just as much, and maybe more, as our homes do.

Here, I make sense of how cities evolve and what that means for how we live, connect, and grow. Expect reflections on the shifts redefining urban life, mobility, and community. You might be surprised by how small, thoughtful changes can make a big difference in our collective and individual well-being.

Blogging since 2007

I didn’t expect when I launched At Home with Kim Vallée, my stylish living and entertaining-at-home blog, the impact blogging would have on my life.

My blog quickly built a loyal following across Canada and the United States. It became my full-time job for seven years. During that time, I worked with major brands and agencies on creative campaigns, took on consulting projects, wrote columns for traditional media, and gave numerous interviews as a featured guest.

Now, I hope to inspire more people to care about the future of their city. I hope to inspire more people to see how modernizing our cities can bring progress that benefits everyone, including their own family.
