The digital sphere is a democratizing force for the individual or the small business. With the click of a button, we can reach audiences of unprecedented size to sell a product, publicize a blog, or run an ad. Even a job hunt can be enhanced with a beautiful, appealing online presence. With the visibility and boundless potential the Internet offers, it’s important to put your best foot forward by unifying your online brand messaging & imagery. That’s tough to do without an in-house marketing department, so alb.ert.tine aims to be your lean, clean branding machine - think of us as a personal stylist for your digital footprint.

ALBERTINE THE PERSON resides in Sammamish with her husband, their chatty cat, and more plaid textiles than she knows what to do with.

She has written for PurseBlog, Kenneth Cole, and a range of indie magazines. Her photos have been featured by a diverse spread of organizations, including the The Atlantic, Travel + Leisure, Houston Public Media, Olympic National Park Lodges, Seattle Met, the Washington Trails Association, Washington’s National Park Fund, and The Northwest Symphony Orchestra @ Benaroya Hall.
