ABOUT RYAN

HELLO THERE!

Creative Technologist. Documentary Producer.

I’m Ryan Kmonk, a creative technologist and documentary producer focused on immersive media, video production, projection mapping, historical research, and audience-centered storytelling.

 

My work blends documentary filmmaking, emerging technology, and experience design to create projects that educate, inspire, and connect audiences. I’m especially interested in stories that preserve memory, explore digital culture, and transform physical spaces through media.

 

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Immersive Media & History with a minor in Business from Chatham University. My background includes Walt Disney World operations, WQED film production, DocuNamics documentaries, and university-based immersive media projects.
