əˈfem(ə)rəl is a creative studio resting at the intersection of food, design, and experience. Rooted in the tenderness found in time’s forward motion, our work houses itself in moments made of fleeting matter.

We inspire to preserve time, savor taste, ground connection, and marinate in what is deeply felt. We produce culinary-forward events, create sensory worlds, and shape environments through a lens of beauty, sensuality, and intention.



The studio emerged from over a decade of cross-disciplinary work spanning hospitality, fashion, film, and production.

Aliyah is drawn to the ways food, design, and experience can preserve life as it’s lived, expand the definition of romance, and create worlds where soft landings are abundantly harbored.
