Caitlin L. Conroy

Gaming has been my passion since my parents gave me a grape Gameboy Color and a copy of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins to keep me busy during a childhood road trip. I’ve since become a Lead Game Designer with 13+ years in game development and credits on over thirty games. My superpower is using a narrative lens to build holistic game design content and systems, creating immersive worlds that players will want to return to again and again.

I’m an incredibly collaborative designer and thrive in fast-paced development environments where I can work closely with teams to guide design through all stages of a product lifecycle from initial pitch to launch and live service updates. I’ve worked across a variety of platforms, including mobile, PC, and Switch, and enjoy tailoring design to be most impactful to platform and audience usability. I’m highly experienced in licensed game development and have worked with some of the biggest brands around to create compelling and authentic experiences for their fans. I’ve also worked on many original IPs and use my love of narrative design to build cohesive worlds, establishing distinct and enduring identities for these products.

Specialties include: Narrative Design, Systems Design, Content Design, Prototyping, Live Service Game Development, Licensed Game Development, Mobile Games, PC Games, Unreal Engine 4, Product Ownership, Mentoring, Management, Design Leadership.
