My name is Ryan McDonnell; I am a user experience professional, and just completed my Master's degree in Digital Media at Georgia Tech. I recently finished my Masters project, where I examined how emojis can function as boundary objects to categorize news videos. One of my goals with this project was to look at how the current interaction paradigms within digital media can be extended to allow for more nuanced user interactions with news content. 

I am currently looking for UX and Interaction Design positions, especially in the news industry. Feel free to contact me below with any questions!
