Rossella Ferrandino
Hi 👋 I'm Rossella
I’m a Software Engineer and Co-Owner at Nama Studio, Milano.
I believe in the power of technology to drive positive change. With a strong foundation in problem-solving and technical expertise, I focus on creating impactful solutions for businesses and society.
At Nama Studio, I specialize in Shopify theme development, UX design, and building sustainable, high-performing e-commerce websites. I am passionate about empowering ethical and eco-conscious brands to thrive online. Our work helps reduce carbon footprints and supports accessibility—values reflected in projects like the Nama Studio agency website.
Before Nama, I worked at Flagship LLC, Japan's first Shopify Plus partner, customizing e-commerce experiences to meet unique business strategies. I also co-organized events with Women Who Code and now contribute to Women in Software Engineering Japan.
Though my path started in marketing and customer retention, working with developers to re-imagine the UX for Everyman Cinema’s loyalty program sparked my interest in software engineering. I pursued coding through FreeCodeCamp, Codebar, and Women Who Code London, eventually making the transition to tech in Tokyo.
At Nama Studio, I turn business requirements into clean, efficient code and create intuitive, user-friendly e-commerce websites. I love writing—whether it’s technical blog post about development or travel articles about my global adventures.
I have skills in other fields such as technical writing and
e-commerce optimization.
I also have experience in
delivering technical workshops and presentations on Shopify
theme development.
よろしくお願いしいます！
