Hi there, my name is Robby Macdonell, I'm a user experience designer and sometimes front-end developer. I live in Seattle, WA but grew up in The South (and spent time in Alaska and Massachussetts in between).

Smashvillians.com. A little project I've been working on.

Lately there are a few things I haven't gotten to do quite as much as I'd like:

  • Design
  • Code with Ruby
  • Go to hockey games

In an attempt to deal with all three at once, I've been messing around with building smashvillians.com, a fan-content aggregator for my favorite NHL team, The Nashville Predators. It gave me a chance to dig into Rails 3 (which I've learned that I really like). It's also a fun opportunity to play around, UX-wise, with content aggregation and curation. There's a few concepts in that area that I think are really interesting and I'm looking forward to doing some more stuff with. Also, I get to really nerd out about the Preds, and when I'm done actually have something to show for it.
