Top SchoolWill Fitzgerald is a Senior Systems Designer with 11 years of experience shaping gameplay, combat, and live-service systems across AAA and indie titles, currently contributing to The Elder Scrolls Online at ZeniMax Online Studios. His background spans lead and senior design roles at Hi-Rez, EA, and Paddle Creek Games, where he’s driven combat kits, progression economies, and player journey mapping for multiplayer and mobile franchises. Will pairs hands-on scripting and prototyping experience (Unity/Blueprints) with curriculum leadership and user research from Full Sail University, giving him a rare blend of practical implementation and pedagogy. He’s fluent in designing for live services—authored GDDs, owned product features, and iterated systems in production—while also having built serious-game simulations and tooling early in his career. Based in Raleigh, NC, he combines systems-level thinking with a maker’s instinct, regularly moving between high-level vision and the gritty details of implementation.
