Kari Borsa
Designer
Backstory & Formal Training
Kari is our team’s organized Type A creative with a passion for spreadsheets and streamlining systems. After dedicating eight years to raising her wonderful sons, she decided to pursue her passion for design by enrolling in VCAD's online Architecture Design & Technology diploma program - where she graduated with honors at the end of 2023.
Professional Experience
Since earning her diploma, Kari has honed her skills as a freelance drafter before joining the Archetype team. Her diverse career background – from wedding photography and graphic design to visual merchandising and banking – has provided her with a unique blend of creativity and problem-solving abilities, all of which she channels into her work designing kitchens.
Personal
Outside of work, Kari is a fan of romantasy novels and Marvel movies and she loves spending time with her incredible kids in the small town they call home. Her favorite place to visit is Vancouver Island - just don't ask her to ever get *in* the ocean (way too many scary sea creatures).
