It is with excitement that we welcome Ramona Pringle to Interactive Ontario’s Board of Directors. In her role, Ramona is interested in fostering collaborative relationships between academic communities and the interactive digital media industry in Ontario.
Ramona Pringle is an Associate Professor in the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University, and Director of The Creative Innovation Studio, a creative network comprised of multiple incubators, including the Transmedia Zone, Design Fabrication Zone, and Fashion Zone, and the Global Campus Studio. She brings in expertise from her work as a writer, producer, researcher and journalist, where she examines the evolving relationship between humans and technology. As well, she is a member of the City of Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Board, and the Chair of Interactive Ontario’s Emerging Talent Committee. As a technology analyst and columnist for CBC, Ramona tackles current affairs and explores the impact of technology and social media on all aspects of people’s lives, from work to relationships.
Many thanks to outgoing board director Dr. Kristopher Alexander for his contributions to IO. We wish Kristopher well in his new role at Ryerson University as Professor of Video Games: Design, Broadcasting, and Esports Infrastructure.
In addition to this, Kris and his wife are starting a new venture working with an aspiring chef with special needs, creating a new show and companion App. Kris has also been working on a video game of his own design, which is beginning to pick up steam. We wish Kristopher well in his new endeavours.
