Tristine Marie
Tristine Marie (pronounced tris-ten ma-ree) is a graphic designer and artist based in Bremerton, Washington, known for her vibrant digital illustrations featuring bold lines, intricate patterns, and rich storytelling. Her work draws inspiration from graffiti, Japanese kawaii culture, and Mexican folk art—blending these influences into striking, colorful designs that feel playful, expressive, and intentional.
Beyond her visual work, Tristine creates mini zines that offer a behind-the-scenes look into her creative process, artistic journey, and personal interests. These zines serve as both a storytelling medium and a way to connect more deeply with her audience.
Art remains a constant and joyful presence in Tristine’s life. Even while balancing a full-time career and freelance work, she continually makes space to create—fueling her passion as both an artist and a designer.
In her full-time role as a Marketing Specialist at John L. Scott Real Estate – Silverdale, Tristine supports brokers with comprehensive marketing services, including branding, social media management, and print marketing materials such as listing flyers, open house promotions, postcards, and business cards. She now works with brokers across Kitsap County as part of the Kitsap Creative Studio, delivering elevated, collaborative marketing support through a dedicated team.
Alongside her full-time role, Tristine also works as a freelance designer and contractor with Milestone Marketing, contributing graphic design and social media management for local businesses throughout Kitsap County. Her client work includes projects for Boxer Construction NW, Scandia Studio, Gimlin’s Handyman Services, and DexaFit Gig Harbor.
