About

Imola, BO.
Since 2016.

Three people. All work in-house. Website design rooted in Emilia-Romagna.

Wild Flower Designs opened in Imola in 2016. Marta Costa had spent seven years at agencies in Bologna and Milan and had a straightforward reason for leaving: she wanted to work on fewer projects at a time, with more honesty about what was and was not likely to work, and without the layer of project management that sits between the people doing the work and the clients who need it done.

Imola is a logical place to run a design studio. It sits between Bologna and the Adriatic coast, close enough to a major city to serve the businesses there without being inside it. The motorsport community that surrounds the Autodromo means there is a higher-than-average concentration of technically demanding businesses within commuting distance — engineering firms, specialist suppliers, hospitality and events operators — all of whom have specific and considered requirements for how they present themselves.

The studio has three people. Marta handles creative direction and client relationships. Giada Ferri leads visual design. Luca Neri leads development. All project work is done by the three of us. We do not outsource to external contractors on client projects, which means when you engage Wild Flower Designs, you are working with the same team from brief to handover.

The clients we serve are predominantly small and medium businesses in Emilia-Romagna, the creative and professional sectors in Bologna, and artisan producers across the Romagna area. A number are in other parts of Italy. A small number are outside Italy entirely. What they tend to have in common is that they need their website to do a specific job and are tired of websites that look acceptable but do not perform.

All project work is done in-house by our three-person team. No outsourcing, no contractors. When you hire Wild Flower Designs, you work with us directly from brief to handover.

The team.

Marta Costa
Founder & Creative Director
Marta Costa

Marta founded Wild Flower Designs in Imola in 2016, after spending seven years at agencies in Bologna and Milan. She came back to Imola because the work is better when you can have an honest conversation with a client across a table, rather than through an account manager and a ticketing system. She runs all creative direction and client relationships.

Giada Ferri
Visual Designer
Giada Ferri

Giada joined in 2018 after three years of freelance brand and print design. She leads all visual design at Wild Flower — from brand identity through to responsive web components. Her background in print before digital means she thinks carefully about typeface rendering, colour on different substrates, and the places where designs have to work in contexts that were not anticipated at the brief stage.

Luca Neri
Web Developer
Luca Neri

Luca is from Imola and has been building websites since 2012. He joined Wild Flower in 2020 and is responsible for all development, technical performance, and infrastructure. He has particular interest in Core Web Vitals — not because Google measures them, but because pages that load slowly cost businesses real money in paid advertising and user abandonment.
