It’s an homage to a few things:
Nana - my family’s nickname for me
Aria/Arie - (Italian “air”) the musical term for a song solo
studied piano and flute for most of my childhood
Aria - (Greek “lioness”)
born the year of the tiger and am a Leo Rising

Hi! My name is Alana Isebelle Wang.

I’m a first gen Taiwanese American, born & raised in Seattle, WA. I currently am based in Chicago, IL working as the Executive Pastry Chef for HIS Hospitality.

I started doing popups with my friend Lou Turner called Lou x Alana in 2025 as a way to be creative under our own names. That has since transformed into both of us creating our own brands, NĀRIAE and Immer respectively.

Essentially this is my space to share my art to the world.

I’d like to think I’m very right brain dominate. Art has played a HUGE part in my life. From childhood - learning piano & flute, ballet, oil painting which later translated to pastry and photography as an adult.

Everything you see here is an expression of me in some form.
