kariton sorbetes is an asian- australian artisanal gelato brand and store with multiple locations across melbourne & sydney.
I began working with them in 2020 whilst the business was still delivery only, for a special fundraiser and continued collaborating with them for several years following.
throughout 2023, kariton put together a collaboration series that championed "some of melbourne’s best (and hard working, of course!) asian owned and operated businesses."
it was a collaboration in more than one way, where I worked with the photographer/s to put together the perfect style for each business, capturing the essence of the people behind the businesses and their creations. through illustration I decorated the images as taken by christian moso for kariton's instagram.
it was a fun challenge to capture the individuality and aesthetic of every chef & business.

tote bags
for kariton’s first physical shop opening in 2022, they commissioned me to do an illustration of every ice-cream flavour they had built their business on. (at the time it was 30 flavours).
I did 30 individual illustrations and compiled them into a 5x6 grid for some tote bags to sell in store.
aside from the ice-cream & sorbet, kariton also sells hand held treats and cakes.
I was tasked with illustrating each of these treats to be used on their labels/signage in select stores.

t-shirts
these are the t-shirts I designed for their 2020 christmas fundraiser - which marked the beginning of our collaboration.
these were available for sale where 100% of proceeds went to kusina ng kalinga.
you may still catch these shirts from time to time on some of the staff.
