A Practice for Everyday Life (APFEL) is a London based design agency, founded by Kirsty Carter and Emma Thomas in 2003. Their work spans graphic design, typography, brand identity, art direction, book design, exhibition, print and digital design.

APFEL investigates, explores, collects and experiments, which paired with a thoughtful design sensibility, has earned them a reputation for crafting intelligent and innovative work. Projects include the design of exhibition and publication for Bauhaus: Art as Life at Barbican Art Gallery, London; Linder at Museé d’art Moderne de la ville de Paris; the brand identity for The Hepworth Wakefield and Performa, New York; and book design for Guiseppe Penone (Whitechapel Gallery), Richard Woods (Lund Humphries) and Eva Rothschild (Koenig Books)

APFEL projects are held in collections at The Art Institute of Chicago; the V&A Museum Archive; the Bibliothèque National des Livres Rares, Paris; the Royal College of Art Library, London and the Tate Library, London.
