In Illustrator i go to effects>warp>bulge
Is there a buldge effect equivalent in affinity?

Unfortunately, no. Envelope/Mesh warping does not (yet) exist in Affinity Designer. Here is a feature request for it:
Oddly enough, it does exist in Affinity Photo: https://www.lynda.com/Affinity-Photo-tutorials/Distorting-Mesh-Warp/453344/473863-4.html

4My thinking: because Affinity Designer is actually focused on illustrators, not designers. This is despite the name. Kind of like how Adobe Illustrator is focused on designers, not illustrators. The great naming irony of software... perhaps.– ConfusedDec 11, 2016 at 18:29

1And actually them guys did hear us... They have "Mesh warp/distort tool" on the 2017 road map. See here: affinity.serif.com/forum/index.php?/topic/…– DerWOKDec 17, 2016 at 21:38

@DerWOK, it's been on the roadmap since they first released a roadmap, during the initial beta release...– ConfusedDec 17, 2016 at 22:39

You can use Affinity Photo's Mesh Wrap tool for an Affinity Design file. With the document open in AD click on the file menu, then click on "Edit in Photo…" AD will open the document in AP. Then select the layer you want to distort, and then click the Mesh Wrap tool. Be sure to do this as a last step because it does rasterize the shape. Enjoy!
Like Cris-Gato above has said, but you can actually start in designer then edit in Photo, then if you apply any of the live filters from the layers panel like "sphere" for example then go back to Designer they are now available in that layer and editable, yes in designer, I believe it's because it uses the same file type in all Affinity products.
