Julien Albertini is an architectural designer, cofounder of Asthetique Group Inc., and the creative director of Bilt Rewards. In 2016, Julien and his partner Alina launched international architectural design firm Asthetíque, one of the country’s top architectural design firms. With Julien’s experience in architecture, construction, and finance, he has also provided consulting services to a number of hypergrowth prop-tech and fintech companies focusing on creative brand development.

Julien, the son and grandson of architects, began his career as an intern at TPG Architecture in New York City at age 16. By 18, Julien had founded his first design firm, Albertini Design, where he specialized in designing retail fixtures and shop fittings for Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and other leading fashion brands. Upon joining forces with a larger construction team in 2013, Julien founded Albertini + Nelson, a design-build firm dedicated to high-end residential and commercial construction. Albertini then met Alina Pimkina, a talented Russian designer, with whom he would soon launch the Asthetique brand.
