Hello!

I’m Alyse Marie, and I’m a doctoral student in the University of Washington‘s Human Centered Design & Engineering program, advised by Dr. Cecilia Aragon

My research focuses on transformative fandom, digital countercultures, and computer-supported creative communities. Methodologically, I lean towards ethnographic and design research in order to build and interpret rich data into meaningful narratives. Guiding this, I also have an educational and industry background in User Experience Research & Design, as well as Biomedical Engineering. I aim to position my research to elevate marginalized voices, and build a more equitable future for all.

Beyond academics, I have a variety of skills & interests, such as: UX Design, Art & Animation, & Web Design.
