I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Design and a Master’s degree in Applied Design, and I’ve spent the past several years designing for product based and e-commerce brands. A large part of my work has involved transforming product features into compelling visual stories that help customers connect with a brand before they ever hold the product in their hands. I work daily in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, creating polished digital assets for websites, product listings, social media, and ad campaigns. I have extensive experience designing conversion-focused visuals including product imagery, lifestyle compositions, branded graphics, and A+ style content, always with strong attention to detail, composition, and brand consistency. I’m self directed, reliable, and used to managing multiple projects at once. Clear communication and transparency are important to me, especially when working remotely as part of a growing team. Thank you for your time and consideration, Merlina Bufi
