Alley Pezanoski-Browne grew up in a multicultural Midwestern family dedicated to the arts, education, and social justice, which led her to focus on Film/Video and Sociological Studies at Northwestern University, where she earned a B.S. in Communications. For the next couple of decades, she worked as a producer for various documentaries; as an arts administrator, executive director, and development director with nonprofits; and on various arts & media projects and events. All along she has had a focus on people, community-building, and change. She has held leadership positions with the Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC)  and Open Signal PDX. She received her master’s in Critical Theory & Creative Research from Pacific Northwest College of Art and had a stopover in Hong Kong as a Fulbright Scholar. She is now a Change Manager at Nike where she brings clarity, structure, and momentum to complex, cross‑functional work.

Alley makes art in multiple mediums inspired by dream logic and spiritual & ancestral knowledge. She cares deeply about building creative practices that better people’s work, lives, and catalyze collective power. Her essays have been published in the Leonardo Music Journal and Bitch.
