Top SchoolJohn Myres is a game design leader with a decade of hands-on experience crafting live content, combat systems, and designer tools across studios from MZ to indie startups in the Los Angeles area. As a Team Lead he blends mentorship and team morale stewardship with practical project ownership—planning milestones, directing vision, and championing cross-discipline communication. His background spans live ops technical design—improving tooling and running fast cadence monthly/weekly programs—to deep systems work on heroes, bosses, maps, and progression tuning. He pairs a DigiPen game design education with early teaching and studio internship experience, which gives him a rare mix of player-focused design empathy and production discipline. Notably, he’s equally comfortable shipping polished gameplay and iterating the underlying tools and workflows that let teams scale.
