Kari’s love and appreciation for flowers and nature began as a child. She would observe her mom tending to her garden and help where needed and would soak up all the information her dad would share with her about the flora and fauna in the Pacific Northwest. At 20 Kari enjoyed taking a floral design program. She then went on to become an LPN and enjoyed her 12 year nursing career. In 2009 she decided to start up Confetti Floral Design out of her home to delve into her creative self again.  She began designing for weddings and selling her arrangements at markets in her spare time and soon became busy in her side job. Finally, Kari began the transition from nursing. The career shift was an organic one, and she sees her work as a florist similarly to that of a nurse. With her designs, she gets to make people feel better, help them feel cared for, and lift their spirits.

Kari and her husband Steven and their three children live in Abbotsford.
