Kariton Sorbetes is an Asian/Australian artisanal gelato brand and store with multiple locations across Melbourne & Sydney.
I was privileged enough to work with them for a special fundraiser they held in 2020 and was lucky to collaborate 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
Following our collaboration in late 2020, Kariton was quickly heading towards their first shop opening in January of 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-creams and sorbets you can get in a cup, cone or bun, 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.
