About Us
The Adoralabs Team
Leon Kangarlou | Co-Founder, Ops Brain & Chief Laughter Officer
Leon (he/they) is a co-founder and the operational brain at Adoralabs, where he turns big, chaotic ideas into real, joy-filled things. A process-focused min-maxer turned sticker maker, he has always been fascinated by how systems, people, and ideas come together to create meaningful experiences. He loves dreaming up new ways to make people laugh, feel lighter, and experience even the smallest bit of joy.
Drawing from past startup experiences, Leon loves building and creating, realizing that running a business is his favorite way to bring these feel-good ideas to life. When things get stressful, you will probably find him gaming or at the gym going all out. He also relies on breathing exercises to reset when he is feeling overwhelmed. He is an oddball who tends to take on more than he can chew, but even when he stretches himself a little too far, he somehow still comes out the other side swinging.

Christine Shoaib | Co-Founder, Illustrator & Chief Cozy Officer
Christine (she/they) is a co-founder and the main illustrator at Adoralabs, where she transforms everyday emotions into cute sticker designs. With a background in community-based health, she’s always been inspired by the wide range of human experiences and now channels that into creating opportunities to spread joy through self-expression and creativity.
Christine loves journaling, anime, video games, and doodling (sometimes all at once), and is known for being a perfectionist in the best way… most of the time. When she’s overwhelmed, you’ll either find her journaling at a cozy café with a warm drink and a sweet treat, or reorganizing her ever-growing sticker collection instead of doing literally anything else.
Favorite Fuwa Friend mood: Momo & Tofu Dancing
Favorite coloring medium: Pencil Crayons.
At the lab, you’ll find Christine: Gathering snacks! 🍬
Outside the lab, you’ll find Christine: Tending to her houseplants🪴
The Adoralabs Story
Imagination! Strategy! And everything cute!
These were the ingredients chosen for the ultimate sticker brand… until our two co-founders “accidentally” added a love for high-quality stationery! And so, Adoralabs was born – a creative lab in Toronto bringing joy, self-expression, and adorable sticker science to the world.
Inspired by "Kawaii Art”, cute video game characters, and travels around Japan, we craft color-your-own stickers that mix playfulness with premium quality. While we’re just getting started, we plan on expanding our product offerings and dream of sharing beyond our lab by donating supplies to little artists and students, and supporting initiatives that bring fun and inspiration to communities everywhere!
Now, we’d like to introduce our newest experiments – Momo & Tofu, our fluffy “Fuwa Friends” and the heart of Adoralabs! They’re here to help you express everything from “Main character energy” to “I need a nap immediately” and every emotion in between!
Created, designed and hand-drawn exclusively by real humans, our stickers are made for anyone who wants to enjoy their hobbies, challenge themselves, or just brighten a rough day. So grab your favorite marker and let’s get creative!
